ZIP plugin 1.31 released together with AS 2.52 has a small bug that may cause slightly corrupted ZIP files.
The problem occurs if and only if a ZIP file created with the plugin contains one or more files that each has 4GB or more before and after compressing. Then only these files are not extractable. I.e. files smaller than 4GB or compressed to less than 4 GB or ZIP archives of any size with files smaller than 4 GB are not affected.
However, the corruption does not mean lost data. Only redundant data is not stored correctly and the ZIP files are still extractable, after a repair.
To this thread, there are attached:
1) Updated ZIP plugin 1.32 without this bug, it works with AS 2.52 or later. Just unpack it to the Plugins subfolder of AS 2.52
2) A command-line tool that can be used to repair the corrupted ZIP files
