Saving ZIP Archive and Restoring Immediately

This relates to the menu item Save Ingredients as ZIP Archive and Restore in Same Place under the Zip menu.

If you click on this menu item, you will be able to save a Zip Archive, ideally in a new, empty directory, and then immediately (without further prompting) restore all files from the new Zip Archive into the directory you created it in.

Strictly speaking, RunDynam will restore the files unless it finds some files (for example, .CLS or .BSH files) which look like another simulation is in the directory. If RunDynam finds such files, it will not restore any of the files from the Zip Archive created.

We are grateful to James Giesecke for suggesting this menu item. When James is developing an application, if he wants to make a new version, he works in a new directory, leaving the older version intact. So he saves the older version as a Zip Archive (in a new, empty directory) and then restores the application into that directory. Then he modifies files to create the new version of his application.
