Keep UNIX file attributes

You can archive apps, or any folder that contains symbolic links and files with RWX permissions, by passing ZIP_With_attributes (2) in options.

Exclude enclosing folder

Standard compression programs keep the top level folder in the relative path.

You can compress just the contents of a folder by passing ZIP_Without_enclosing_folder (4) in options.

About Unicode

The plugin will store the file paths in UTF-8 on both platforms.

You can safely unarchive such zip files using the plugin.

However, the Windows kernel on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 assumes that the paths are stored in the current locale, so UTF-8 paths will be converted wrongly. There is a Microsoft Patch to correct this.
