Large Zip files not unZipping

Post by thedirtysunshine »

The issue I'm having is that after zipping a project and transfering it from the mobile device to a computer (PC or MAC), I can no longer reopen the zipped file within MT by taping on the zipped file.

All my files are around 2 gigs.
I've deleted and reloaded MT and made sure that i'm running the most current version.
I've downloaded the zip to both MAC and PC via WiFi(using the Chrome Browser) and the documents folder as well.
I experience this on all my devices iPad-2, iPhone 4, New iPad.

The files load onto the device fine but taping them doesn't appear to do anything at all.

Am I over the size of file that can be sucessfully zipped.

I can zip and unzip a project if the project contains no tracks, only bins.

Any help would be great.

Best,
Rick

I can't reproduce this bug, I'll try again with a larger zip a bit later. Can you tell me if the error is because of the transfer, or can you zip/unzip successfully without a transfer? It could be running out of space on the device as well, please make sure to have lots more space because when opening a project, extra space is allocated for the projects caches.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

The issue seemed to be only when transferring the zip back on to the device.

I backed up the iPad 2 and the iPad 3, wiped them and then reloaded everything from the backup and now everything is working fine.

I'm guessing that it might of been an issue with the caches as you mentioned.

As of now everything is working perfectly.

Thanks for the reply and the great tool!
