RTFD packages not understood

[gilby101]

How do I get integrated Mountain Duck to understand and synchronise .rtfd packages? If I drop a .rtfd package into a MD volume, it gets the little red cross and cloud exclamation mark icons. If I open it in Text Edit, the package then disappears! This independent of the storage (I have tried Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive). The Dropbox app does not have this problem.

No problem with .pages packages.

This relates to #17521. We reverted the handling of packages in the latest beta of Mountain Duck 5.2 to store a single file on the server instead of uploading the package with the directory structure as is. With 5.2 .rtfd files should be synced to the server as .pkgf transparently.

I have installed 5.2 beta. That fixes it for me.
But does require all synchronisers to be using Mountain Duck 5.2. Otherwise it is messy for sharing or for synchronising with a different product - I don't know how you get around that.
And I assume that with big packages (as #17521) it is not really a good enough solution.

We are still looking into the option to reverse the change to allow synchronizing packages as folders.
