Zip images in directory

Question

I have a directory of directories. Each directory contains ~100 images. I want to create a zip for each directory.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Goto the directory in a Terminal window and run the following:

find . -type d -depth 1 -exec zip -r {}.zip {} \;

• find .
  • searches the path
• -type d
  • only allows directories
• -depth 1
  • up to a depth of one
• -exec <cmd> {} \;
  • execute cmd for each result {} you find

And finally zip -r <dest> <src> which zips the directories recursively.
