Zip folder layout

Unstructured ingest reads filename and label from the zip tree.

Rules

1. Exactly one top-level folder (dataset root).
2. Under it: one subfolder per class, or all files directly under the root (label = root name).
3. Do not mix loose files and label folders under the root.
4. One data type: all images or all .txt.

MyDataset.zip
└── MyDataset/
    ├── Fire/
    │   ├── a.jpg
    │   └── b.png
    └── NoFire/
        └── c.jpg

Text example: Positive/ and Negative/ with .txt files.

Supported files

Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG
Text: TXT (UTF-8 preferred)

Not supported: GIF, HEIC, WebP, PDF, CSV/Excel, firmware packages, mixed types.

Mac tip

Compress the dataset folder itself so the archive has a single root. Finder may add __MACOSX; Heimdall skips that junk, but a clean zip is better.
