Actually I don't think so, it must be something more obvious - so obvious,
that I don't see it
And I think this must be such a standard behavior, which hasn't changed
since ages.

No no, I didn't tried to use the ditto parameters with the other tools :). I
just tested the other tools with  their standard gui without any special
parameters, just to see, if it is a ditto issue.

Yes I am studying the man ditto since days and tried all combinations of
parameters so that I now think it has nothing to do with the zipping tool,
but something completely different. Something like ... ?
