"Download backup" should create data within a wrapper directory #240
Comments
Hmm, traditionally zip etiquette says not to create a wrapper directory -- this differs from tar etiquette. GUI-based unzip tools (particularly on Windows/Mac) typically create a wrapper directory automatically. Unfortunately the unix unzip tool decides to match tar here, despite annoyingly not matching tar on so many other points. |
Interesting, okay. I could live with this staying the way it is if we also document it somewhere. |
I think I'd second @kentonv on that. I actually always make sure the zip tool is creating an appropriate folder for just this reason (and it usually does), and nothing makes me sadder then lots of nested folders to get to the stuff. |
I added docs at https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/wiki/Using-the-Sandstorm-Top-Bar so I will now close this! |
Steps to reproduce:
Expected behavior:
grain-id/var
or something like that, to avoid stomping on files in the current working directory where the user unzipped it.This issue is probably pretty bite-sized, so marking as such.
