Convention:

    Use 'w' - 64 (integer value 55) when calling zip_open, zip_stream_open, etc., to select write mode without enabling ZIP64.
    The same pattern applies to other modes: use 'r' - 64, 'a' - 64, 'd' - 64 to pick the non-ZIP64 variants.

I will try that again, with your version, and post.

Thanks,

John Z

Update: Created with 'w' - 64 (~~but I'm not sure how to really tell if 32bit or 64bit ZIP~~) using 7z Info does not show as 64 bit while prior version does, so this must be 32 bit. It has the same symptom.

That A_BaseFile_imp_T_311T.ods is 64bit zip, perhaps a reason why it isn't accepted.

OK, cool. The fix will be in the next update.

HI Timo,

Sure here are two files _good is with the older version, _311T is with the current version.
The headers are different - The compressed data itself for the files looks fairly much the same on a quick check. The file sizes are different too when looking at the actual. Both versions open in 7z without complaint.

Both files used the same source data and same program except swapping zip procs -
good file is 3,703 bytes
not so good file is 3,938 bytes

John Z,
can you give a small example file for tests with Libre Office and MS Office ?

Thanks Timo, Vortex,

Well surprising results. I built your version. Very good I had not thought to use __MINGW32__ so my build ended up with more code 'customizations'.

However, when I used your version to create an ODF spreadsheet it ended up with the same exact issue! Note that I have been using using an older version of miniz to do the same thing successfully, so any issue is only related to the new miniz.

Just like with my mod of miniz, both ODF and Excel indicate a problem which they both can 'repair' and all spreadsheet data is there. Whereas Explorer ZIP, and 7z have no issue unzipping the file, and show no error report.

So there is some sort of (minor repairable) incompatibility with ODF/Excel expectations when using the newest 3.1.1 64 bit capable version. I did try it with the 32 bit fileopen ('w'-64) and it was the same.

Looks like I'll be sticking with the old perfectly working version for now...at least until I can spend time to figure out the difference.
