What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Allow setting compress attribute to multiple files.

It will be great if the task can be run in the background.

  • Allow setting compress attribute to multiple files

Files Version

Comments

Setting NTFS compress attribute will block the API call, and the compression code is run on the current process. Windows Explorer will show a progress bar at a scope of number of files processed and calculate remaining time based on the finished items.
