Bulk conversion of uncompressed pages to SingleFileZ. ((*.HTML + *_files) pairs to *.u.zip.html?

Your file format is great. Surprisingly, it has never become an industry standard...

I have a lot of pages with these damn "*_files" folders. A lot of small files in these folders are copied very slowly. ETA counts in days.

It would be great if it were possible to read these folders and write a single file instead...

Another option is to convert pages to *.MHT. Therefore, the second question is: Is it possible, to convert mht -> u.zip.html?

Thank you for the kind words. Regarding the "industry standard", it's mainly my fault I guess. It would need more communication from me probably.

You should be able to convert the pages with single-file-cli, it can save pages from the filesystem and save pages as self-extracting pages, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/single-file-cli. Note that you can do this also in the browser by opening all the files in tabs and make sure the "Allow access to file URLs" option is enabled in the extension page if you use a Chromium-based browser. Then you just have to select "Save all tabs" in the context menu.

Right now, a tool to convert MHT to self-extracting HTML files not exist, but I could maybe write it. Although, it is possible to convert MHT to HTML files (like SingleFile) with this project: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/mhtml-to-html.

PS: Note that SingleFileZ is not maintained anymoreb but you can use SingleFile instead, with the "universal self-extracting" format selected in the options page.
