Description

Describe the Bug

When I want to create a Zip file with LZMA compression via vpkedit to pack Source Engine resources, despite the selected compression level in the dialog box, an archive is created, but all files in it are packed using the store method (i.e. without compression). To its credit, engines filesystem was able to read it (unlike packing via 7-zip)

To Reproduce
  1. Click file>Create from folder>zip
  2. Choose compress method-LZMA and non-zero compression ratio
  3. Choose files folder and final zip path
  4. Check compression type signatures via 7-zip or command unzip -v your_zip_file.zip | grep -r LZMA
VPKEdit Version

Latest for linux(installed from apt)

Operating System
