\r\n
\r\nI can add files by stream - thats a great thing as I can use this lib using a database as stream input.
\r\n
\r\nWhat I miss it the ability to add an empty directory - without any access to the real filesystem. Such a directory called A is added automatically if I add a streamed file to this subdirectory like "A\\x.txt". But I want to achieve this WITHOUT adding any file - just an empty directory.
\r\n
\r\nCalling the functions
\r\n AddOrUpdateDirectoryImpl()
\r\nalways results in
\r\n String[] filenames = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(directoryName);and this call throws an exception.
\r\n
\r\nPerhaps another flag in
\r\n AddOrUpdateActionculd solve this problem:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n enum AddOrUpdateAction
\r\n {
\r\n AddOnly = 0,
\r\n AddOrUpdate
\r\n AddIOAccess
\r\n }
\r\n..
\r\n
\r\nif( action != AddIOAccess )
\r\n String[] filenames = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(directoryName);\r\n
\r\n
\r\n ...
\r\n
\r\nwould be the way?\r\n",

\r\n
\r\nI wasn't clear on the scenario. Still I would like to better understand the "why".
\r\nCan you tell me more - like what is the purpose of having an empty directory in the zipfile?
\r\n
\r\nI haven't yet looked at what it would take to make this possible. I'll have to think about your idea with the additional flag in that enum.

\r\nThis system uses a predefined folder-structure, where all folder have to exist, no matter if files are stored within or not.
\r\nAll later access to this structure expects the existace of these folder.
\r\n
\r\nSo I need the ability to create these folder even if they are empty.
