I agree that a hack with so many images and such a big size, would difficult with this rule. I think however that we will not "hard" enforce the 1 zip-file rule (see also the discussion on multiple versions above).
I think however that a hack that is larger then 2Mb would be a real exception around here. |

i hate it, infact detest would be a better word when screenshots are zipped up (i don't care how many there are), but if it's only one file, zipping it is a nuisance especially as an end user, let alone as a hacker, but meh, your house, your rules

Actually i think we should even add that we would like that the version number is in the name of the zipfile.
I do it like that for a long time already, and this will allow you to have more versions of the same hack in 1 directory, with having to rename the real files involved. Actually this was one of teh arguments in the discussion we had before we made this request, but it seems we have forgotten about it. |

Just to clarify - is this just for 3.5.0 hacks - many pre 350 hacks are just a single text file (certainly in my case).

This was triggered by the fact that lately a lot of vB3.5 hacks where leased consisiting of 1 or more text/xml files. But you can consider it a a general request.

As a leecher ...um ... i mean user, I can assure you that even if it's just one file, It's not much to extract it. besides anything to zave bandwidth. Also, I like to keep a library of all the hacks I've installed and when i install them I zip them right back up. |

While I can minimally understand the zip request, I also find it rather irritating. Now you cannot even attach a txt file in a regular post because valid file extensions were changed to the following: bmp, gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, png, zip.
It would seem that, as this site depends in part on hackers, TPTB would try to make it more, rather than less, convenient for hackers. For me personally, I might think twice about posting code or mods, given this new rule. |

It's completely pointless for single files, and quite irritating to have to zip up a single text file (you can't attach php files to posts either, I abandoned an update the other day because of this, there seems to be an asumption that every machine has the ability to zip/unzip, which they don't). I couldn't even be bothered to complain as I know it's a waste of time.

Zipping up is NOT a hard process. It's most likely going to be one right click. It will take you less than a minute. Absolutely nothing compared to the time coders spend on some of their modifications. |
