Using AddSelectedFiles and passing a search criteria string, if I pass an empty string for the directoryPathInArchive argument (the documentation says that will place the found files in the root directory of the archive), the sub-directories are still created in the zipped archive. \r\n\r\nI have posted a comment on this discussion thread: http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/discussions/347853 regarding this issue but, have received no response yet. \r\n\r\nThanks",
