No bother at all

I'm happy to answer and try to help where I can and know how.

Regarding your question that behavior sounds correct, but I'm not 100% exactly sure.

Hopefully a Dev or a more knowledgeable expert can give you the answer to that.

I'm guessing that behavior seems correct AFAICT

I know with some cart systems when I was full path loading, it wouldn't work when I pointed it to a zip. I had to extract the archive.
