Is there a way to get MODx to create a ZIP download of images in a folder?

I’m using a specialized template for FileDownload to make up my site’s gallery.

Is there a way to have MODx put images in X folder into a .zip, so people can download them all at one time? Maybe through a snippet or something?

It would take knowing how to use the zip functions (presuming zip is enabled in your php)

I found this zip function code via Google.

I looks like it would be pretty easy to snippetize. I don’t know how good it is.

I’d create a snippet but it should probably be done by someone who knows more than I do about zipping and unzipping.

From what I read, a lot of Zip code produces files that are reported invalid by some un-zippers -- notably WinRar and the built-in Windows Vista unzipper.
