I desgned a beautiful website with themler , I export it, Zip file is created. When i unzip the file I get another zip file with the extension CPGZ. CPGZ files are created when I double-click a .ZIP file in Mac OS X. Upon opening the ZIP file, a new file with the same name but the ".cpgz" extension is created. Then, when I decompress the CPGZ file, it gives you back a copy of the original ZIP file. This loop is caused because ZIP file is corrupt. How do I fix this problem. I just bought the program today! I don't want to ask for my money back. Please help.

i tried all examples. Here is what I get when I use the solution using the terminal. Instead of it opening the file I get this error message:

Last login: Sun Nov 13 16:47:24 on ttys000
Juans-Mac-mini:~ juanmorejon$ unzip /Users/juanmorejon/Desktop/feria1.zip.cpgz
Archive: /Users/juanmorejon/Desktop/feria1.zip.cpgz
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /Users/juanmorejon/Desktop/feria1.zip.cpgz or
/Users/juanmorejon/Desktop/feria1.zip.cpgz.zip, and cannot find /Users/juanmorejon/Desktop/feria1.zip.cpgz.ZIP, period.

Hi,

Could you please attach the problem archive?
Also please try exporting theme into a different directory (on the Desktop, for example) and from the browser using the following address:
http://127.0.0.1:29958/themler_2316630085/joomla/administrator

The theme itself is located under the Applications >> Themler (open package) >> Contents >> Resources >> hd_data >> themler_[numbers] >> joomla >> templates.

Please keep us posted about the progress.

Thank you,
Olivia

Hi FloridaMMA,
I often come across issues with .cpgz files on my Mac, particularly when I'm working on software development. Here's what I do to solve this problem:
1. Rename the file, removing the .cpgz extension and leaving only .zip.
2. Use The Unarchiver instead of the built-in archiver.
3. If the file is important to the project, I back it up before changing anything.
If this is related to startup development, I can recommend contacting Andersen. I myself have recently consulted with them about similar technical problems in MVP development.
If it doesn't help, write to them – we'll figure it out together!

It sounds like the zip file might be corrupted during the export process or download. One way to troubleshoot is to try extracting the file using a different program like The Unarchiver on Mac or a command-line tool like in Terminal. Also, double-check if the export settings in Themler are correct and try re-exporting.
