The Smart Zip Content Cleaning feature of the XenVn addon helps ensure that uploaded ZIP attachments remain clean, lightweight, and free of unnecessary clutter.
When users upload ZIP files, this feature automatically scans and removes unwanted files and folders that often come bundled with archives from various operating systems or third-party sources.
What It Removes:
- System junk files:
- .DS_Store (macOS)
- Thumbs.db (Windows)
- Desktop.ini (Windows)
- __MACOSX folder
- Unnecessary text information files: .txt, .md and similar text files that often contain spammy or irrelevant promotional content added by third parties.
- Keeps file attachments clean and organized.
- Reduces storage usage and download size.
- Improves professionalism of shared content.
- Prevents users from unintentionally sharing personal or system information contained in these junk files.
Go to: XenVn Setting → Attachments → Smart Zip Content Cleaning
Toggle the feature on, and from that point forward, every uploaded ZIP file will be automatically cleaned during the upload process.
With Smart Zip Content Cleaning, your forum stays neat, efficient, and secure - without requiring any extra work from users or moderators.
