Should, for example, the results of a picture or HTML export need to be sent by mail, it is often more practical, to send the export results as a ZIP archive. All export formats support a programming interface for this purpose. Data compression can be set by the user via a dialog, by selecting the option "ZIP archive (*.zip)" from the list of available file filters. Alternatively, the output can be controlled by code. The following options are available:
Export.SaveAsZIP: Activates the compression of exported data. If this option is set, the ZIP-Filter will be selected in the dialog.

Please note, that the user can modify the default settings via the dialog. If this is to be inhibited, set the option "Export.Quiet" to "1".

Export.ZIPFile: (Default-)Name of the ZIP file to be created e.g. "export.zip". For the file names in the ZIP archive the following rules apply:
if "Export.File" is not assigned, the name of the ZIP archive is used with a corresponding file extension (e.g. "export.htm")
if "Export.File" is assigned, this will then be used. If an export format generates one file per page, the placeholder "%d" can be used for the page number e.g. "Invoice Page %d.bmp" for the bitmap exporter
Export.ZIPPath: Path of the created ZIP files
