Aligning ZIPs with folders

[chrisjj]

How do I do this, please?

[Michael Bulgrien]

Just treat the zip file as if it were a folder. It works with the integrated Windows Explorer context menu options as well as from within the BC3 GUI.

How do I "treat" zips as folders when I compare a folder of zips with a folder of folders, to get alignment?

[Michael Bulgrien]

Try using a RegEx Alignment Override:

Excellent - thanks Michael.

For the (text) record, that solution is:

Align left file (or folder):
(.*)
with right file (or folder):
$1.zip

The non-regular expression case would just be:

Align left file (or folder):
*
with right file (or folder):
*.zip

Thanks. Is there any advantage to the RE version?

[Michael Bulgrien]

Not in this case.
RegEx offers more flexibility for more complex alignments.

Thanks.
