Great module. thanks for sharing it with the community. Just thought I'd flag a bug where you cannot open the downloaded tar file when using features -> export. (I'm using context 6.x-2.0-beta1 and Features 6.x-1.0-alpha2.)

cheers

Hi dub,

Would you mind attaching the exported file to this issue? Also, do you know if the export was able to use the gzip library to compress it (it will be named .tar.gz if so) or did it simply attempt to tar your feature?

It seems to have been able to use the gzip library...exported file attached (discography.tar.gz renamed to discography.test so I could upload it.).

cheers

Dub.

Hi Dub,

I was actually able to untar the feature without a problem. Here's what I did in my terminal:

$ mv discography.test discography.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf discography.tar.gz
discography/discography.info
discography/discography.features.inc
discography/discography.defaults.inc
discography/discography.module

What are you using to unpack the feature?

It must be my software. I'm using 7-zip and never had a problem opening tars before. thanks for the heads up. It's an extremely useful module that should perhaps be considered for Drupal core at some stage.
