Zip Solution application was designed for developers who frequently release sources of their programs as a zipped archive. It automates zipping of software source codes for contributing them to sourceforge.net, codeproject.com and codeplex.com by setting custom filters (automate build, zipping in ui and ms build task).
Software automates creating of so called "update packets" you can select folder and it will pack all modified and created files starting from specified date. It saves original folder structure. You can create update packets for small sites (consisting from html pages and powered by hands) and incremental backups.
Also software may be used when creating binary software zipped packages with use of
"archive design mode" feature: you can bind any folder or file to any place in archive you want.
