  Hi,
  
  I tried to use the tool at http://community.zik…Gettext-extract.htm but when uploading a *.tgz or *.zip file I get the following error:

  Please specify zip/tgz file!

  
  
  Am I doing something wrong or is something broken?
  
  Greetings/Thanks

  Make sure you create the file exactly as per the video. In windows right click the module folder and create the zip from that.

  In windows

  
  You must be kidding ...
  
  I tried the following:
  
  tar -cvzf myMod.tgz ./myMod
  and
  zip -r myMod.zip ./myMod

  In Linux right click and create the zip of the folder
  weird issue
  
  But if you have console you should prefer to use the xtractcomponent.sh directly ^_^ the Gettext module is in the SVN/Misc and the scripts in the /helpers subfolder.

  There is an issue with tar doing compression at the same time - creates a non-fatal error but the script catches it.
  
  Most probably will be ok if you do this:
  
  tar cp folder > folder.tar
  gzip folder.tar
  
  With regards to the zip, you cannot zip ./ the zip must contain exactly the folder... without ./
  
  Anyway... use a GUI and you'll be fine ;)
  I much prefer the command-line extractor. Just apt-install gettext and use the command helper in Gettext module.

  Just to add my personal way of doing it, which never failed on any Linux system:
  

  Code

  tar -cf - some_directory_or_file | gzip -c9 > tarball.tar.gz
