In the output below, a.zip which I created with the zip command line utility does not contain a _MACOSX directory, but a 2.zip which I created from Finder does. Meaning the zip archive contains preserved resource forks and HFS meta-data in the subdirectory _MACOSX and embeds only the parent directory name source in destination-archive, not the fully qualified pathname as when using zip (without -j) to create the archive.The zip command line utility never creates a _MACOSX directory, so you can just run a command like this: zip directory.zip -x \*.DS_Store -r directory

There you have it, a way to compress multiple folder separately and simultaneously at one time in individual zip archives while emulating how Finder creates a zip archive file. Or after selecting the target Folders, you can also click Finder > Services > Compress Folders Separately from the menu bar. In Finder or on the Desktop select multiple Folders, then right-click and select Compress Folders Separately from under Services. Save the Service as: Compress Folders Separately Set Service receives selected to folders and in to Finder.Īdd a Run Shell Script Action, setting Shell: to /bin/bash and Pass input: to as arguments and add the following code: for f in doĭitto -c -k -sequesterRsrc -keepParent "$f" "$bn.zip"ĭitto -c -k -sequesterRsrc -keepParent "$f" "$bn $n.zip" Open Automator and select Service 1 or File > New > Service If Automator is already open. There are also other minor nomenclature differences but they should be more obvious when comparing them to pre-macOS Mojave Automator workflows. This ensures an existing zip archive file is not touched and the zip archive filename will be automatically incremented as necessary.ġ In macOS Mojave, and later, an Automator Service is called a Quick Action.

If the Folder Name.zip file already exists then a " 2" ( space 2) is appended to the filename, e.g. Here is an Automator Service 1 that becomes available in Finder when Folders are selected and emulates the context-menus Compress Items command except it creates an individual zip archive file for each selected Folder in the name of the selected Folder.
