Can't recursively zip directory with "ZLIB Compress Directory" when password specified

[Jim Kring]

There's a bug in "ZLIB Compress Directory" where it fails if a password is specified.

If you try it, it will result in a file permission error:

I fixed this error by not passing in a password to the "ZLIB Store" for directories, and only passing in the password for files (as shown below).

Here's the fixed VI.

Actually a better fix is to apply the correct logic in ZLIB Store File.vi itself, since in there is already code to detect if the entry is a file or directory. I will look into this as soon as I have finished setting up the essential tools on my new machine, since the old machine is kind of dieing, I rather don't want to use it for any work anymore.

That sounds like a good way to do it. Thanks for your work on this.
