That's a complicated thing, and the current ewiki_binary() thing wasn't
simply designed to do that (it only cares about uploaded images).

So what you need to do is a complete collection of plugins to handle
this (let alone current binary_store and the awful upload and download
plugins).
We could of course try to enhance the binary_store thing, or at least
reach for some compatibility. But after all, what you're trying to do
didn't need to have any connection and backwards compatibility, this
only slowed development and hindered features.

I don't know why this always happens, but there seems no other way than
brute-force running the tarball generation code several times or midday
if it doesn't work as nightly snapshot generation.

Hmm, worth investigation. PHP errors message however gives again no clue
where to start.

That's a nice idea. Something like a file manager on top of the current
_DB_F_BINARY entries and filename-like page names. So it could look like
MidnightCommander or WinExploder, if there were page names and uploaded
files like:

   dir/sub/FileOne.zip
   dir/readme.txt
   dir/site.lnk
   system/ewiki.ini
