NPrinting November 2017 HTML reports ZIP file unzipped?

Hi everyone,

does anyone of you know whether exporting HTML reports unzipped to folder locations is now possible within NPrinting November 2017?

By default the export of HTML reports to folder locations ends up within a *.ZIP file.

I've been searching within the "new" release but cannot find

anything helpful.

Isn't there a setting within a setting*.ini or a *.CONF file where

this zipping can be enabled/disabled?

Workarounds as of Batch files doing the rest isn't a solution for me.

Many thanks Philipp

Hi @winoth I am not surprised and to be honest I would not expect it to be delivered at all nowadays as focus seem to be on SaaS reporting tool now. 

BTW - Have you created or voted for this on the ideation page? Which idea is that under as there is only one regarding cycle features but I didnt see one regarding HTML: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Option-to-zip-or-not-zip-reports-created-with-cycling-...

Hi,

At the moment all reports generated in HTML are saved to folders zipped and there are no options to change this behaviour.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi,

The dev team is aware that it is a very requested feature, but right now we don't have a estimated delivery time for it. Sorry.

Hi,

For sure it is not included in next release September 2018.

I don't know if it is planned for other releases.

Best Regards,

Hi Ruggero

Can you confirm if this feature is on the roadmap/wishlist?

It is very irritating that, when a cycle results in a single file, it is still zipped.

This makes this approach useless for mobile consumption of the email and adds an awkward step on desktop.

Hi David,

I understand your point of view. This feature is already requested but I don't know if and when it will be implemented. At the moment the attachment is zipped to limit the dimensions and speed up the sending process.

I send also a link to this conversation to the people who decide the new features list.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Thanks Ruggero that is all we can ask.

I have also raised the issue with our account manager, Dave Swarr, to apply pressure from several angles.

2 years later an we still doesn't have an alternative for this behavior. 

HTML files are stored inside zip files even when delivered to a file path no matter if a single report or Cycled. 

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/November2019/Content/NPrinting/DistributionSchedulesAutomation...

The following support article show how to unzip the files

https://support.qlik.com/articles/000024704

But instead of this I prefer an article showing how to change the configuration to deliver reports unzipped.
