zipfile error about imcsegmentationpipeline HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,
I never encountered this, as I never used such huge Zip files.
The script works also if you use normal folders. Just put your .mcd files in sub-folders of a folder listed in the configuration sections' folders argument. Make sure there is only 1 .mcd file per sub-folder

Can you give this a try and give feedback if it works?

Thank you Votti!

I tried using different web-based zipping tools and one of them was compatible with the pipeline. I am aware that my zip files are big but they contain a single mcd file and all related text files (6 days worth of ablating a single TMA section). Do you think file size has an effect on this? I read in the zipfile.py manual that it is compatible with up to 4GB of zip file, so I am not sure if it is the kind of zipping or the file size.

I would like to try your suggested method, does the file have o contain both mcd and text files or only the unzipped mcd file is enough (thinking of disk space)?

In computing 4Gb is indeed a barrier for file sizes, due to legacy reasons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier). So I think I would need to change the zip library I am using to deal with it.
@zipping: I generally recommend 7zip (https://www.7-zip.org/) for zipping. But I dont think this will change anything concerning the 4Gb limit.

In general just the mcd file is enough. both in when using the zip as well as when using the folder approach. We usually keep the .txt files more out of legacy reasons, as we used to have issues with the .mcd files, which we were able to rescue with the .txt files as a backup.
But in general the .txt files are not needed.
