Hiya ,I am looking for any functionality that can automatically zip attachments within the rich text fields. There could be multiple rich text fields within one form holding many attachments.
The function can be triggered in Query save preferable , or I should have the ability to insert an attach button just beside the rich text fields , so that the documents get zipped as and when they are attached to the form…
Any guidance in this regard is much appreciated…
Cheers ,
SG.

From Domino Designer help…
Use LZ1 compression for attachments
In IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Designer Release 6 and later, you can choose to compress attachments using the new LZ1 algorithm instead of the Huffman algorithm. Because LZ1 compression can be performed quickly and efficiently, it is favored over the Huffman method. However, if you are working in an environment that uses different versions of client and server software (for example, a Lotus Domino Designer 6 client and an R5 server) and you choose this option, attachments are automatically recompressed on the server using the Huffman method. Note that recompressing has performance implications. For best performance, use LZ1 in primarily Domino 6 or later environments.
Or you could look at a partner product such as http://www.notes-compression.com/

How does the LZ1 compression get activiated ? I tried creating 2 documents with the same attachments
1.) With the LZ1 Option enabled
2.) With the option Disabled.
In Both cases the size of the document remains the same…
Cheers,

If you’re looking at a mailbox view, the document size displayed does not take the compression into account. If you actually check the document properties, you can find the document with the LZ1 attachment is smaller.

I created a View and used @DocLengt in 1 column.Both documents returned the same number.

Right-click on the document and open Document Properties to look at the document size. You’ll find it doesn’t match @DocLength (or NotesDocument.Size, for that matter).

Hi
You could write an Java agent which fairly easy does this.
The package java.util contains api for creating zip files.
