itimpi,
Just read your other reply on this thread

now I see, if you have multiple files in the archive it leaves them alone in one archive, but you can't have the uncompressed files around.
So its impossible to keep the files together in the file system, bad news for me, but thanks for your explanation. I have too many GB of files and metadata (e.g. txt files for OCRd books, and I need to keep them accessible in some way to other programs that I've written. Seems what I am trying to do is not possible at the moment, so I'll stay with my folders for the time being.
