Question about Images

[J. Allen Crider]

I decided to try this as well, but apparently I ran into a size limitation.

I am running Tellico 4.1.1 on Kubuntu 25.04 and I have two collections, 
audio and video.  The images for my video collection come primarily from 
IMDB and are relatively small, so the exported zip file is less than a 
gigabyte and works with no problem.  Many of the images for my audio 
collection are high-resolution scans from my CDs, so the directory I 
have the images in is currently over 25 GB although it contains two 
copies of every image I am using and some other images that I am no 
longer using.  When I export that collection, I get a zip file that is 
6.5 GB in size and that will not open.  Ark gives the error "Failed to 
open archive: Possibly truncated or corrupted zip archive".  Is the 
image collection too large to export to a zip file?
