Zip files

[floridalady]

:huh: Received this zip file that contains 3 separate images. How do I unzip them to put each one in my wtv-zone files? :(

Beam the zipped file into your Zone account - to the right you'll see where it says "unzip" - click there and the zip file will be opened and the pics extracted.

If you still need help - hollar.

When working with ZIP files, remember that some of them open into multiple files. It is best to use caution and open them in a separate ZIP-receiving directory so they will not get mixed with other files. You can always move or copy individual files to a directory of your choice once you have unzipped the file and inspected its contents. :thumbsup:

I totally agree with you GEST. Better be safe then sorry.

Curious about email zip files myself. Do WebTV users have this capability as well or is it only for PC users only?

PC users can unzip and zip files if they have the tool in their computer. Larry was nice enough to include an unzip tool on the zone that webtv can use.

I've un-zipped files on the Zone before, but I had a URL to do it.

I don't know how to unzip a photo "attachment" in an email that was sent to me. It doesn't give me a full URL.

Hi, Rosebud..

There are probably less convoluted ways to do it, but when I get a photo attachment in an e-mail, that I can't get an URL on, what I do is....

Save it to the pagebuilder scrapbook.

Start a pagebuilder page and call it "photo2go" or whatever.

Add an item, picture, from scrapbook, highlight it. So there's your photo on a web page. Publish it (but don't list it).

Go back to through the index and view your newly published page.

Hit your "go to", and "show current" and it will give you the URL to your new web page.

CCP that URL to Webscissors in the URL box. Just do a "show images" and it will show you your photo there all by itself.

I pick edit and run it through Majic - cause I can fix it up if I want, while I'm at it. When you output from Majic, it shows you your photo. You click on it and it gives you a temporary, but beamable, URL, that you can CCP into your Zone Beamer and name it whatever you want.....

I'm leaving out some details here because I'm assuming you already know and use Webscissors and Image Majic.

There may be a better way, but this is the only way I know - and it does work. Hope this helps...... :)

My Scrapbook and Pagebuilder are already in use. I've loaded pictures to my Scrapbook from emails as well, but I always had the Scrapbook option on those emails.

With this email I don't have Scrapbook listed on the left when viewing the email. I don't know if it's because the attachment is zipped or not. :confused:

Rosebud,

That attachment is could very well be WORM_NETSKY.P which is why Scrapbook is not seeing them as image files.

Could you forward the attachment/email to http://www.wtv-zone.com/seqrets/Pics/seqrets.JPG. I'll scan it and if it's clean, I'll upload pics to a Temp directory at the Zone and PM you the url to them.

Info on old_photos.zip below.
