Packaging files together from Documents directory

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have an app where there are sets of items that contain pictures and sounds. I want to have the ability for users to share sets between each other. So I was trying to figure out how to best put those files together. The first thought that popped into my head was to create a zip file in the Documents directory where users can download and share.
The problem is that it seems there is no way currently to zip up files in the application Documents directory. People have built the ability to untar a non compressed tar file, but I cannot find any solution for creating a tar or zip like file.
Looking for some opinions on how best to do this. Anyone run into this issue and have a good solution?

There is a way to untar files, but I don’t know that you can create a tar file. There are no zip options at the moment, but it would be possible to build it using Corona Enterprise. [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 34659 reply_id: 137774[/import]
