I think you have some hidden files in the zip file.

[VelinGeorgiev]

@iocohen were you able to resolve that? Perhaps you can take a look at what @SKhakhulin commented.

@SKhakhulin thanks for your help!

[VelinGeorgiev]

Closing due to lack of response. Feel free to reopen if needed.

[bassory99]

Hi ! I have the same issue. I checked and there is no hidden files in the zip. Do you have any other hint?

[VelinGeorgiev]

@bassory99 , Could you provide me with some more details please. If you can type some steps to reproduce so I can try and reproduce it, this would be very beneficial for me.

[bassory99]

Thanks for your quick response. Basically I just tried to create a new album and attached a zip file.

1. Installation of the demo app according to the procedure (https://github.com/VelinGeorgiev/django-photo-gallery)
2. Execution on port 8989, and successful connection to the admin with admin/admin
3. Creation of new album, including selection of a zip file containing only 3 jpeg files

Thank you very much @bassory99! I will try to reproduce it in the next days and see if I can fix it.

[VelinGeorgiev]

I have tried to reproduce it, but I could not with python 3.6.1 x32.
So I tried with 3 jpegs in a zip

But it was a success for me.

I will try tomorrow with the x64 version of python 3.6.1 to see if it would crash for me.

[bassory99]

thanks a lot for this feedback, I will also try it with Python 3.6

[bassory99]

I think the issue is not related to the version of Python, I just tried it with a Python 3.6.0 virtualenv and still got the same error

I had the same issue, only to realize that this library doe not allow for deletion; I just had to make the app not vissible and create a new album, I think the problem is that you are trying to add a zip to a zip which has proved to be problematic,

[bassory99]

I am not trying to delete anything, and the zip only contain pictures

Hi! Yesterday I had the same problem. I've tried all methods I could know, but failed eventually. BTW, I ran the program on MacOS yesterday. But today the program can successfully run on Windows. It turns that the issue is close related to the operating system. If everyone fails on MacOS or Linux, perhaps Windows is a good option.

[FrankFeng-23]

I guess I just found something interesting. The program successfully runs on my Mac, beacause I don't use the Catalina10.15 build-in uncompressing tool. I just tried another tool called Keka, and it was a success for me.

Hi there, I am facing this same issue as well. I created a new admin account and created a zip file for all of my images (25 PNG images) and I am getting the same error when saving the zip file. Has anyone happened to solve this issue without having to switch to Windows?

[leeivan1007]

@rshah7924 you can just use the package by python.
`>>> import zipfile

zf = zipfile.ZipFile('test.zip', mode='w')
zf.write('test.jpg')
zf.close()
exit()`
