Question for you Retroplay.

I'm putting together a new update pack for the games and I notice that the amount of games that can not be unpacked on a PC is growing for every update. Its mostly empty 0 byte files with no name.

In the games that was updated from October to now, the list is

Code:

BlackCauldron_v1.2_2057.lha: Cannot create BlackCauldron\data\Save\
DinoWars_v1.1.lha: Cannot create DinoWars\saves\
Reunion_v1.1.lha: Cannot create Reunion\data\intro\
Reunion_v1.1.lha: Cannot create Reunion\data\save\
Reunion_v1.1_AGA.lha: Cannot create ReunionAGA\data\save\
Reunion_v1.1_AGA_De_0568.lha: Cannot create ReunionAGADe\data\save\
Reunion_v1.1_De_0569.lha: Cannot create ReunionDe\data\intro\
Reunion_v1.1_De_0569.lha: Cannot create ReunionDe\data\save\
SpaceQuest_v1.2_1484.lha: Cannot create SpaceQuest\data\Save\
SpaceQuest_v1.2_1484.lha: Cannot create SpaceQuest\data\Save2\
AdventuresOfGenlockHolmes_v1.0.lha: Cannot create AdventuresOfGenlockHolmes\data\devs\clipboards\

I checked BlackCauldron_v1.2_2057.lha for example.
In the BlackCauldron\data\Save\ folder is a 0 byte file in the archive.
Comparing it to BlackCauldron 1.0 (which can be unpacked on a PC), the "Save" folder is empty.

Is there a reason for the 0 byte file or can we do without it? I do not want to mess with your packaging but every game I have to put into the "UnpackOnAmiga" folder feels like a loss =( Can it be avoided?

Thanks =)

Edit: Is it because of this update notice perhaps?
"RawDIC imager to save files from game disk"

Raw dick is never good. You all know that.
