can not unzip an empty folder
hi, i got a zip called 111.zip it was zipped from a folder called 111. i would unzip '111.zip'. I don't know there are things in the folder or not.
so when the folder called 111 has nothing in it, i got nothing after unzip 111.zip, which was supposed to be an empt folder called 111.
please help~
Can you please clarify: Does the zip file only contain an empty folder called 111? And you want the unzipper to just create this empty folder?

yes, the zip file only contain an empty folder called 111, and when i upzip it with unzipper, i got nothing, which i expect it to be an empty folder.
i use unzipper for lots of zip files called 111.zip, some of them contain a folder with files in it while others just contain an empty folder. maybe i can handle it as a special case, but i prefer to get just an empty folder.
Good point - the expected behavior should be to extract exactly what is in the zipfile, empty folders included.
@ZJONSSON 🎉🎉🎉, so how long it will take to experience this feature?
i 'd like to update my schedule depending on the time when i can use this feature~
I just stumbled along this behavior too. I'd be very pleased if this would be added soon.
@ZJONSSON same issue here, when will you fix that ?
our users drop zip files with some empty folders, like pre formatted trees. Would be great to be able to detect / create empty folders when unziping.
I have the same requirement. May I ask if there has been any progress on this?
This has now been resolved by replacing fstream with fs-extra https://github.com/ZJONSSON/node-unzipper/pull/318/files#diff-ad67f830ededacce71edff0de408c01f6d287c3bb7c95f64cc5c3b0ae7494bdcR30
Empty directories are now explicitly extracted (see test)
