Compress to ZIP

Minimal VS Code extension that adds Compress to ZIP to the Explorer context menu.

It also adds Extract ZIP for selected .zip files.

Behavior

  • One selected file: creates <name>.zip next to that file.
  • One selected folder: creates <folder>.zip next to that folder.
  • Multiple selected items: creates archive.zip in the common parent folder.
  • If a target zip name already exists, auto-increments (-1, -2, ...).

Extract Behavior

  • One selected .zip file: extracts into a sibling folder with the zip basename.
    • Example: photos.zip -> photos/
  • Multiple selected .zip files: each zip extracts into its own sibling folder.
  • If an extraction folder already exists, auto-increments (-1, -2, ...).

The command only supports local filesystem resources (file://).
