How to zip archive individual sub folders

Question

I have a main folder called "Test" under that I have around 100 sub folders starting from test 1, test 2 ..... test 100.

I am trying to create a work flow in Macautomator. But it puts all the 100 folders into one big archive file rather than creating 100 archive files with its original name in the mail Test folder. am I expecting too much from the automator. I would greatly appreciate your help .

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I can help you out. Create the following Automator Workflow:

1. Ask for Finder Items
   • select folders
2. Set Value of Variable
   • variable name I put was "folder"
3. Get Folder Contents
   • select "Repeat for each subfolder"
4. Dispense Items Incrementally
5. Create Clean Archive
   • select "Deleting original files"
6. Loop
   • select "Loop Automatically" and "stop after 100 times" (or how many you want)

This should work. I tested it out.
