      Those of you who are delivering products in zip files through the browser. How are you dealing with Safari (and possibly other browsers) that by default unzips zip files after the download?

      @Christoph-Hart I know you're using zips for DM Piano, have you had any issues with this? What is the reason you're not using the hr format?

        @d-healey first I cant see this topic in the general questions area at all, I have to get to it from teh previous thread link..

        But perhaps someone could try and see if unzip works with alternate extensions in HISE?

          @Lindon I'm pretty sure that the file extension doesn't matter to HISE, you just give it a file object to extract and it doesn't care about the extension.

          The more interesting question is if Safari has super powers to recognize a zip archive even if we use the master cheat code of renaming the file extension like the professional hackers that we are.

            @Christoph-Hart I'll test it later tonight, I suspect they can detect the mime type though.

              Test complete, seems to work :) I propose we use the following file extension .zippyzippyzipzip

                    @Lindon should be .zippyMcZipFace no?

                      technically yes I suppose it should...

                        Okay do we have a generally accepted size limit for the "zip" files we can create - and unzip with HISE safely?

                                I try to stay at 2GB or below. If a user on a dodgy connection gets cut off part way through a file 2GB isn't too bad to have to re-download.
