New feature - recognizing file format types in zipped files
Discussion started by eduardas
Hi everyone,
A few days ago, we finalized a new and exclusive update that recognizes all your file formats in a zipped file. Once you start uploading the file, the system allows you to add additional file info ( in other words - to add other formats from one zipped file).
However, should you choose not to write-in other files (or forget to), our system will recognize other file formats and add them to the uploaded product:
The feature works with all your .rar, .zip and 7z formats. Please note, that it won't recognize the files that are zipped IN already zipped file.
We're happy to introduce this update and hope that it will help designers organize their files a bit better, without the extra-care of archiving different files in a number of different formats.
Since it's a new feature, give us a shout if you find any inconveniences or have any additional notes to help and make it even better!
Best regards,
Eddie, CGTrader team

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm just now seeing this thread. ;)
This is actually a bad idea because the "scanner" lists all file formats, including a PDF license and the mtl (material definition file) found within a zip file. But neither the PDF nor the mtl file is a "product" file- customers can't load the license file into a modeller and expect it to render. ;)
Also, this is a problem for Poser Pro products which have an obj file, but the colors are defined in the Poser cr2 file. The site scans the zip file, finds the obj file, and then tells customers that the product includes an obj file. While this is technically true, the customer will then expect to be able to import the obj file into his modeller fully textured. But then he'll complain when it imports as solid white because the color information is in the Poser file and he doesn't use Poser.
I would suggest offering this as an optional service: if the seller wants the site to scan the zip file, then click a button. Otherwise, let the seller manually choose the file type.
