Zhen, is there any chance this might be fixable prior to the 2.6 roll out?
This seems like it is becoming a critical issue, especially as the majority of users will be using the native Windows zip functionality as opposed to a third-party program. I did some testing, and it looks like creating an empty file in each folder prevents the failure described above. Zhen, do you think that is a reasonable solution?
Creating a file called .empty in each of the folders seems to solve two bugs in the Upload All functionality.
#1) Windows native ZIP does not seem to make folders when the directory is empty. Instead, Windows native ZIP creates awkward, empty files for the submission and feedback directories. #2) The screenshot attached to this bug seems to be caused by the redundant creation of the "blank" submissions folder and then the subsequent creation of the files underneath the submissions folder. ZIP automatically creates the folder structure (a blank folder should not be created). This patch simply adds a .empty file in the submission folder and the feedback folder. My limited testing shows that this removes both issues described above. New patch attached (sak-14815) should work cleanly against trunk.
Is there anyone available to test? Are there any Vista users out there that can test the attached patch?
Zhen, any thoughts on this patch?

program on my vista machine.
if I use a third party program (in my case 7-Zip) I DO get the student
submission attachments and IOR feedback attachments in their correct folders.
I've had problems with the default unzip program before.
the re-zip (send to) option seems to work.
