THE GOAL: To get the "Download archive of images" working with a node view.
THE PROBLEM: I have created a node-type that allows the uploading of Tif files via the filefield. Next I created a Node View with the Style "Bulk Operations" and the Download Archive of images checked off. The reason I chose a Node View is because it allows me to sort by date. This view works great except that when you click the download button it says it has been processed but nothing actually downloads.
The only way I can get it working is by using a File View, which has a very limited number of filters.
So... I'd like to accomplish one of two options:
A. Allow the "Download archive of image" to work in a Node View. or....
B. Allow the date filter to work in a File View
Here are some screenshots that should things a little better:

If you already know how to do this please PM me. For now I can pay $40 (Paypal) which is why I wouldn't want anyone to spend too much time on this, but if you already know how to do this then it could be some extra lunch money for the week. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
Thanks!

I played with this for a while and was able to make both solutions work.
For the node view, it just worked. Are you maybe using private filesystem? I set mine up just like yours and it worked. I could export it if you like, but my fields may be named differently.
For the file view, I had to add a relationship to "Content: Showbox", and require that relationship. This forces your view to only include your showbox files. You can then add node filters. Just be sure and specify the "Showbox" relationship in the filter.
The file view is nice because it doesn't duplicate your folder structure. BUT... It doesn't give you the imagecache preset options that node view does.

Nice! Option two worked for
Nice! Option two worked for me. I don't know why I didn't think about adding the relationship. Thank you! I'll send you a payment.
***This request is considered resolved***
Relationships really open up
Relationships really open up the other types of views to a lot of possibilities. Think of it as a SQL table join where node is no longer the primary table, but can be referenced through the relationship.
