getCompressedSize: get size of inaccessible files

[aleksey-hoffman]

Hi @xxoo is it possible to make getCompressedSize function return the size even for inaccessible files?

I calculated the size of all files in C:\Windows and got 1.9 GB with getCompressedSizeSync while the File Explorer showed 27.2 GB in the properties window. I assume the difference is due to inaccessible files.

Perhaps a similar handle to this Libuv implementation?

i don't think that's possible cause getCompressedSize does not depend on CreateFileW. not directly at least. only GetCompressedFileSizeW is used and it has no option for file access mode. and i guess it would not ask for write permission anyway. perhaps you can use run as admin to achieve this.
