OIPUN wrote: Make sense. I wait until I have more maps and post them at once. I don't think this makes sense. Some people are not very active but creating maps from time to time. Forcing them to create map-sets is a no-go, imho. This will lead into several (possible) good maps which are lying at a users home without ever being published. Ok, map sets can also contain only one map Top Quote

That's easier than expecting them to figure out where their homedir is and how to compress their uncompressed map files without messing up the file extensions, imho Top Quote

Else a mapset can be started with one map and be enriched with adding maps from time to time so I see no problem really. As the addon feature is brand new please be patient and expect still some problems. Top Quote

But how can I create zip-s where the files are in `/` ? (I think chroot would need too much setting up for this) Top Quote
