Hello Roger, As far as I could see the onprogress events did not provide any feedback after the Zipmaster.add command when the files _are being parsed_ or is there? This is the period after add when the files are being sorted through prior to the dll zipping them which can be a significant period. Concur there is onprogress events _after_ the parsing is completed.
