Re: creating multiple zip arhives?

OK I tested the script and it works but it's not quite what I meant. It
creates the folder structure of the source folder in to the zip which is
something our web application cannot handle. I meant that only the jpegs are
put to the zip file. Also it would be better that the resulting zip is
created to the jpeg source directory to avoid misunderstandings with our
naming policies. Some source folders might have very similar names. Not
identical though.

Thanks
