Can you please NAME & VERSION STAMP or DATE STAMP the folders of the board & other modules before you zip them.

when I download the Boards i get a zipped file but the browser decompress it and i end up with a folder called: - board

after i down load the other items like gallery / blog etc. they all download / decompress and now i have board-2, board-3 ,etc.

inside that folder is a folder in each called upload.

Its tedious to have to rename.

If the zipped file had things named first like board_3.1.2 / blog_3.2.2 it would make life easier.

When I download it, my download is called board_3_1_2.zip

yes but the browser decompresses it and deletes the zip, leaving only 'board' behind

Works fine for me. It extracts as the same name as the zip. Which is how most extractors work... tested with both the Windows extractor and 7zip.<_<

this would be preferred.

However converge and Nexus did retain their names - only the board/gallery/blog/subscriptions do not.

I have the same problem. Can be tedious with 4 folders Valle board

On the Mac, Safari automatically extracts zip files and just splatters them into your download folder. It does not retain the file name.

Even without the Autounzip, the internal folders are all named the same, and it gets annoying. I don't want to sit and rename the file :(

All I do is create a folder before starting d/load for whatever version am downloading (e.g. IPBoard_312) on my hard drive and save to there then when I unzip I know what version it is for

If I also d/load blog, gallery etc for that version of IPB I d/load it to IPBoard_312 folder, that way I know that everything in that folder is to be used with that version of IPB

You know what fixes this? Not being lazy and creating your own sub-version system locally..

*bump

There's no need to bump your topic. Your feedback is noted. Note that this does not necessarily mean we will be changing our distribution system, but nevertheless, bumping isn't necessary. :)

Still Wishing that this could be fixed, Please...

Just downloaded the beta- but now i half to wade thru this sea of upload & board folders.

+1

I obviously don't know how the distribution system is setup, but it seems like a trivial change that would save a lot of wasted time as Mac users end up replicating the same mundane renaming process.
