Once the compression is done, use hfsdebug to check to see if the file(s) were actually compressed. So to compress a file or directory with HFS+ compression, all you should usually need to do is type ditto -hfsCompression into the Terminal, replacing with the path to the source file/directory, and with the path to the destination file/directory.

Since files using HFS+ compression are not readable on versions of Mac OS X earlier than 10.6, this flag should not be used when dealing with non-system files or other user-generated content. This is only supported on Mac OS X 10.6 or later, and is only intended to be used in installation and backup scenarios that involve system files. When copying files or extracting content from an archive, if the destination is an HFS+ volume that supports compression, all the content will be compressed if appropriate.

If you view the manual for ditto ( man ditto) in 10.6, you should see this option listed: So the Quicktime X executable only takes up about 40% of its reported size that's nice, but what about using this compression for our own files?ДЄs it turns out, Apple has actually proved a way to use this new compression. You can also tell how much space the compression has saved from this output: The logicalSize for the resource fork is the size of the compressed data (6618026 bytes in this case), and the uncompressed size is 16652848 (the same size that the Finder reports). This output shows that the QuickTime X executable has the xattr (the xattr command line utility in 10.6 hides this attribute), which means that the file is compressed using HFS+ compression.

Version 3.0: Option to expand to a package for use with iBooks. Version 2.1.1: Added Portugese translation by PageLab

Version 2.1: Make sure the zip is good before unzipping it. Version 2.0.1: Added german translation by shorshe When unzipping, the 2.1 script first uses the zip command to fix any possible errors in the structure of the zip file. Corrections to the translation very much welcome, as are translations into other languages. The new application also has a neat icon, and a crude translation into French. Drag & Drop or just double-click to run and choose a folder or an ePub. The application now zips folders into ePubs and unzips ePubs into folders. No more unzipping an ePub only to find that you don't have permission to read any of the files! This application now unzips ePubs for you, and in addition, it resets the file permissions on the unziped files. Thanks to Abecedary and Jellby for help getting the magic incantations right. Just drag the folder of files onto the Applescript application, and your epub will be created.ДЇor those interested in what's going on, it's just issuing two zip commands to create the epub, one that zips up the mimetype file without compression, and the second that zips up the rest of the files with compression, skipping the mimetype file and any. Here's an AppleScript application that does all the hard work for you. #1 пїЅpdurrant 09-05-2009, 08:16 AMZipping a folder of files to make an ePub isn't as easy В— the folder needs to be zipped in a specific way.
