And can explain, how to rename ".zip" a(to) ".love", again in Pictures ?
Without English is very difficult and "google or youtube - translator" takes not very.
Well, probably your problem starts to be complicated. This is very basic Windows use. You just rename the "whatever-the-name.zip" to "whatever-the-name.love" like any other file in Windows Explorer. Just for example right click in that zip file and "rename" to the name you want (don't be afraid of change extension) The rename don't need to be done in Prompt Command. You really don't need pictures for that.

I'm not using Windows, but the process is exactly the same in Ubuntu as it is in Windows.

Maybe I'm crazy but it does not work.

Several times read your instructions.
Repeat, but nothing happens.

Several(the same) time looked Video. (thanks nevon)

"Laptop" was brought to his(my) brother on the order from "Germany" of about 7 years ago, now they take me.

Perhaps the problem is that I use - "WinRAR ZIP archive"

Wut. The. Hell. Why is there not .zip there?

Can't you select files, right-click and select "compress files" or something.

If you have Winrar, you should have a "Add to archive..." option if you right click on a file or files you want to archive.

Also, if you're having trouble with renaming .zip to .love, you may have file extensions disabled. Try following these steps:

Uncheck Hide extensions for know file types
Now rename something.zip to something.love
Profit!

Ouch, I was soooo used to have .extensions enabled that I didn't ever remembered that could be an eventual problem. Thanxs for remember of that Tentus, my thoughts how to help this time were ending.

Also as I remember and see in his context menu last option should ZIP the files.

BTW good choice use Notepad++

Hey Com_1 if you russian and had so much problems with english can you deal with a PC in german? Well german is a language closer to russian but... :ultrashocked:

I've the urge to say something snide about Windows and their extension-hiding behaviour, but I'd better not. ;)

Remember that you had to blame also OSX on that matter. One of the first things I made when migrating was enable extensions.

In the past, I've gotten way more headache from OSX users who don't have extensions at all than from Windows users who don't understand them. Though recently, operating systems letting special characters like singlequote into filenames has proved to be an enormous pain in the rear.

OSX it's an OS of two types of "extreme" users. A large part of them "eat" all the way of deal with Mac just as Apple wants. Other few users are extremally "terminal" geeks knowing all (very) hidden stuff that Apple don't want Mac users deal. I as "intermediate" user have some hard times with osx, lol...
