Hi,

for example a droplet


property deleteOriginal : false

on open theseFolders
	repeat with oneFolder in theseFolders
		if (folder of (info for oneFolder)) then
			tell (POSIX path of oneFolder) to set {theSource, theDestination} to {it, it's text 1 thru -2 & ".zip"}
			do shell script ("/usr/bin/ditto -c -k " & quoted form of theSource & " " & quoted form of theDestination)
			if deleteOriginal then do shell script "/bin/rm -r " & quoted form of theSource
		end if
	end repeat
end open
