Is there some sort of limitation with the File Manager's extract utility that doesn't allow it to extract a .zip file that has a directory inside of it? I uploaded a .zip file that had a directory full of PDFs and I couldn't get it to extract. However, when I re-uploaded the .zip folder with just the PDF files in it (no folder), it extracted fine. Maybe there's some sort of 'extract recursively' option that I'm missing?

AFAIK subdirectories are not supported. Unzip support is just to reduce upload efforts, if many files are involved.

Apparently it's not an issue with the contents of the folder being zipped, but rather the method of the folder being zipped. If I use 7zip and upload, file extraction works fine. However, if the PDFs are compressed using Windows 7 --> Send to... --> Compressed (zipped) folder, the resulting zip file will not extract using DNN's File Manager. Is this a common issue, or just me?
