Disable ZIP download if folder bigger than 2GB?

[Novox]

Hello rejetto,

Is it possible, if I want to make an event that disable download as zip's button when the folder is bigger than 2GB?

Thanks in advanced!

maybe it's possible to make a [download] event where you call a command-line utility to get the size of the archive.
anyway, this is not a good method, because the archive is not necessarily a full folder.
problem is, the [download] event is fired before the archive is calculated (and this must stay this way), so hfs cannot even pass you the size.

i don't know if we should introduce a new event for archives.
opinions?

Yeah, I think a new event for archive is required to solve this problem. Or can you give a archive setting option in HFS instead of using event script?

i found that event [archive name] is when the archive is ready.
so i just introduced a new symbol %stream-size% so you can now ALT+F6 and put this

[+archive name]
{.if|{.%stream-size% > 2000000000.}|{:
  {.disconnect reason|archive too big.}
:}.}
