I couldn’t find it either.

It is a bug that JSword handles every entry as a file, processing directories before files in them. Since it created a file with the same name as the directory, it can’t create files in it.

However, there are tens of thousands downloads of Bible Desktop that have this bug. It is easier to change the zips to work around the bug than for users to figure out that an upgrade (when it becomes available) will fix it.
