Hi AllenP ,

Thanks for reaching out,
This occurs when you have duplicate (same document repeated) documents in the list of input documents.
While making a zip file the duplicates are removed so that the file count seems to be reduced.

Thanks,
Vignesh E

Having an issue with the Create ZIp. It is not adding all the documents to the zip file. If I have 8 or less I get all of them, but as the number increases the number of files in the zip file does not equal. For example if I have 10 documents, I get the first 8, at 15 I get the first 10, at 20, I get the first 13.

Unfortunately the exact zip file in question is a personnel file with personal info. I'm not sure how i would go about setting up a similarly-sized file to reproduce the issue. In any case I've sidestepped the issue for now by utilizing the other plug-in i mentioned.

Large - it was a few hundred megabytes. Is there a documented or undocumented size limit with respect to what this plug-in can handle?

FWIW i was able to try an alternative plug-in, "zip file utilities", which has a smart service named "unzip", and edited the failed instance to invoke that node instead, and it worked on the first try.
