Dynamic ZIP Compression Level

Postby iconbill on Sat Jul 21, 2012 7:25 am

I really wished I could set the ZIP Compression Level based on the file type/extension.

Because a lot of files will only decrease in size after zipping, like: MP3, FLAC, AVI, MPG, NEF, etc
And because I want Encryption, I need to use ZIP. But now the profile is running for days because he is trying to Compress all my photos (NEF), movies, mp3s. And this is a waist of TIME and CPU usages, because does not get very much smaller at all.

Just one extra option to enable would be great to start like:
[ ] Do no compression on common movie/music/photo filetypes (NEF,AVI, MPG, MP3, FLAC).

I really would love (=need!) this function, because now it's taking toooo much time to create the ZIP's.
Kind regards,
Marco Smeets

Thanks for the suggestion. For the time being, you will find that when you choose the fastest compression level for all files, it will be fast enough and at the same time compress well enough. The compression level setting is available since version 6.
