I am using md5deep to generate the checksum for the contents of an entire directory.

After generation, if I use the checksum file and run a check, there are no errors.

However, if I compress the file and extract it, it seems to generate an error about a missing file.

The file is just called .md5. There is no file called .md5 inside the directory. It seems to create a file that is not existent.

This problem exists when I use md5sum or md5deep. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
