    "Description": "In the following code when I use zipFile.AddDirectoryByName(newPath); it's creating both an empty folder in the archive but also a zero sized file.\n\nI think this is a bug in DotNetZip but if you spot something wrong in my code that'd be just as good of a fix.\n\n```\n        private static void RecursiveAddToZip(ZipFile zipFile, FolderData folderData, string path = \"\")\n        {\n            string newPath = path + \"/\" + folderData.Name;\n\n            // add this folder\n            zipFile.AddDirectoryByName(newPath);\n\n            // add files\n            foreach (FileData data in folderData.Files)\n            {\n                ZipEntry zipEntry = zipFile.AddFile(data.FullPath, newPath);\n                zipEntry.FileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(zipEntry.FileName) ?? \"\", data.Name);\n            }\n\n            // add folders\n            foreach (FolderData data in folderData.Folders)\n                RecursiveAddToZip(zipFile, data, newPath);\n        }\n```",
