Theme export/import in Prestashop 1.5.3.1

[Presta Ecommerce]

I'm having really strange issue with Prestashop 1.5.3.1 and this is how I solved it.

 

I have created new theme on fresh Prestashop 1.5.3.1 and exported it. If I try to import it on other fresh 1.5.3.1, I get bad zip file error. No matter what I tried, I couldn't install it.

 

SOLUTION: unpack the zip file and zip it again using your zip utility. Import then works just fine.

 

PS On fresh Prestashop 1.5.3.1 installation, export of default theme throws a really bad error. Try it yourself.
