BE_Zip not accepting multiple file paths

[nomfjmt]

When a list of file paths (return-delimited multi-line text) is passed as the first parameter to BE_Zip, it returns -1 error and nothing happens. Meanwhile, when a single path is passed, it will generate the zip file as specified.
This can be reproduced on both MacOS and iOS.

Environment:
MacOS 11.4
FileMaker Pro 19.2.2
iOS 14.0.1
iOS App SDK 19.2.2
BaseElements Plugin 4.1.4

nomfjmt,

I don't get the same behaviour as you. I can do :

BE_Zip ( BE_FileSelectDialog ( "" ) )

And select multiple files in the dialog, and the plugin returns 0 and the zip file is created as expected.

Do all the files exist - check with the BE File Exists function.

What characters are you using for the list separators?

Cheers,
Nick

Nick,

Thank you for your reply.
After an investigation, I found that BE_Zip 4.1.4 returns -1 error if the file-paths list text ends with a return character ( Char(13) ). If I remove the last return character, it worked as expected.
Meanwhile, for your information, BE_Zip 4.1.3 worked fine regardless of whether the list text ends with Char(13) or not.

Yours,

Ah, thanks. That's a change in behaviour we weren't expecting. We'll put in a fix to make it work the same as the 4.1.3 version.

Thanks,
Nick
