Files/folders archived separately when called via service from context menu

@zanglebert, first thank a lot for your feedback.

About the issue, the Option 1 can't be done since the "Compress..." option in the context menu is never used with Keka. This option will always create a zip file with the bundled OS X/macOS compression system.

About the Option 2, the "Archive as single files" option does just that, archive each file/folder separately. Maybe I can change the text to "Archive each file/folder separately". So the result you're getting is correct with this option. Anyway, with this option unchecked the result is the same, it is a known bug: http://trac.kekaosx.com/ticket/127

So, uncheck the "Archive as single files" option if you don't want to archive each file separately and while it is not fixed just drop the files to the Keka icon in the dock or the Keka main window.

Thanks for the response. Didn't know it's a known issue.

But there's another one:

When dropping folders to Keka icon, with 'Archive as single files' unchecked, it work as intended.
However, then dropping several files to the icon, they are archived individually, despite the unchecked option.

That's not intended, right?

Can't reproduce this one. Can you double check you have "Archive as single files" unchecked booth in the preferences and in the main window? (if Keka is opened).

[zanglebert]

You're right, tested again, working as intended now. My mistake, must have had one of the two still checked.

(edit) closing issue, if you don't mind.

I'll keep this open since the workflow need to be fixed. Thanks for all your feedback @zanglebert 👍

[zanglebert]

you're welcome, least I can do :)

Fixed in r1741. Context menu services will be integrated in the app, with a check to install or uninstall. New users will have them by default, current users will have them if they had the old context menu installed, otherwise they'll need to enable them with the check in the Preferences.
