 +Note that if you use the GUI-based approach, the resulting ''.zip" file will contain OSX-specific files (like ".DS_STORE") and directories (like "__MACOSX") that can cause problems in some situations. You can exclude files when working from the command line using the ''-x'' option. For example:
 +
 +<code>
 +zip -r dir.zip . -x ".*" -x "__MACOSX"
 +</code>
 +
 +will create a "dir.zip" that contains all of the directories below the current directory, but will exclude all files that start with a "." and the "__MACOSX" directory.
