I’m trying to use the new ZIP connector to zip a folder.
With the following input parameters.
The input parameter ‘Source file or folder (pointer)’ suggests that I can use a folder path. However I can’t seem to get this working.
Indicium log file shows the following error: “The parameter 'Source file or folder (pointer)' was provided with an invalid value.” I’ve tried different folder paths but keep getting the same error:
Are folders not supported? Can I choose a source folder outside the file storage location that is linked to the process action?

I've got it working on Indicium 2022.2.16.2. The file path is still the same. “\\twisodev01.isodev.loc\ThinkWise_Software\Applicaties\EVO\Generated scripts\GEN_AUTOMATIC_SMART_PACKAGE\1.01\Deploy\”
The storage location for the process action is “\\twisodev01.isodev.loc\ThinkWise_Software\Applicaties\EVO\Generated scripts\”.
Zip file input
At first I was confused because I couldn't find the created .zip file. But after reading the documentation more carefully I came to the conclusion no file will be created:
Zip file output
So I added a ‘Write file’ connector to create the .zip file (by using the binary) on a different storage location.
Zip folder to binary and write zip file to a storage location
this is the complete path: “\\twisodev01.isodev.loc\ThinkWise_Software\Applicaties\EVO\Generated scripts\GEN_AUTOMATIC_SMART_PACKAGE\1.01\Deploy\”. However I don't think folders can be ‘absolute’ paths.
