Will second shooter ZIPs extract with the original session folder structure?

Yes. Deliteful preserves the complete internal directory hierarchy. Shoot date and session subdirectories are maintained exactly as the second shooter organized them inside the archive.

Is it safe to extract preset packs from unfamiliar vendors?

Deliteful blocks path traversal attacks, where file entries inside a ZIP reference '../' paths to write outside the intended directory. All paths are validated before extraction, regardless of the archive source.

What if one file in a preset pack ZIP is corrupted?

Corrupted entries are detected and skipped automatically. The remaining files in the archive extract normally, so a single bad preset does not block the rest of the pack.

How large can shoot delivery ZIPs be?

Individual ZIP files can be up to 50 MB. For larger deliveries split across multiple ZIPs, batches support up to 50 files or 2 GB total.

Extract Studio and Preset ZIPs Without Disrupting Your Catalog

Photographers receiving asset deliveries from studios, second shooters, or preset vendors get them as ZIP archives — often containing RAW files organized by shoot date and session, or preset packs structured by category. Deliteful extracts these archives with the original folder hierarchy intact, so files land in the right place relative to your Lightroom catalog or project folder without manual reorganization.

A second shooter delivery might be structured as '2024-06-15/Ceremony/', '2024-06-15/Reception/' — subdirectory names your culling workflow depends on. Extracting that ZIP locally and having the structure collapse into a flat file dump means manually sorting hundreds of RAW files before import. Deliteful preserves every subdirectory exactly as packed, so the extracted output drops cleanly into your project folder.

Preset packs from vendors are a smaller but recurring case: a Lightroom preset bundle might contain 80 presets organized across 'Portrait/', 'Landscape/', and 'BW/' subfolders. Corruption in one preset file should not abort the entire extraction. Deliteful skips corrupted entries and continues, and its path traversal blocking means ZIPs from unfamiliar vendors cannot write files outside the intended extraction directory.
