Hi,

I downloaded the qemu-unzip git zip file and compiled it on my Mint 19.3 laptop, I needed to install libzip-dev...

Strnagely, the complied executable is called "qem-unzip"

Running qem-unzip, with flightdeck demo from QL Homepage, gives

• derek@lp1:./qem-unzip -d ~/flight ./flightdeck.zip
  Opening Zip ./flightdeck.zip
  Error opening zip file ./flightdeck.zip

Which is strange as:

• derek@lp1:./qem-unzip ./flightdeck.zip
  Opening Zip ./flightdeck.zip

Seems to work, just the -d option has a problem, is there a space between the -d and the directory?

In Q-emulator, when I attach the folder where I qem-unzip'ed a zip file from Dilwyn's site and do a DIR FLP1_, I see the files with dot notation. Is that normal or have I missed something? It's always done that, I assumed it was a quirk that was needed for Q-emulator to work and that I had to rename things manually.

Damn I assumed Q-Emulator did that, sQLux does

I added it after I needed it to compile a libc for c68 without munging files on host first!

Just FYI the name isnt specifically a reference to one particular emulator, as you saw from the bug you found I originally called it sqlux-unzip but it applies to a number of emulators so I renamed it QlEMulator-UNZIP

But pull requests always welcome!

You are too kind when you assume I'd have a clue where to start - my knowedge of C is limited to reading the K&R book

Never too late to start, qem-unzip uses standard C, nothing fancy

It will work fine as long as -d option does not have a ~ in it, I forgot to account for that when the shell doesn't auto expand! The joys of *nix programming!

It will also work on bash (well the version I am using from Ubuntu 21.10) with the space as the shell decodes the ~ before the program sees it!

Hi,

I had to put the complete file path to the decompress directory and the zip file.

Maybe I am a little bit out of date.

I will look at an upgrade.

No need, I've just pushed what should fix this for you. Code now does shell expansion of passed filenames!

Now added Q-Emulator name escaping.

This will also switch . to _ as per Sparrowhawks ask.

This has been tested on a "Copy Protected" QL game, but only one, so possible there are still tweaks needed.

This escaping is turned on by -e on cmdline!

Nice! Thank you

So this has now been converted to rust!

Along the way fixing a long standing issue with the -d switch
