Not sure if possible, but I would love to see this feature added if so!

( I would hope it is possible since Windows itself allows this with the command compact /c /i /s:\ )

Thanks; loving this program btw.

Sadly I intentionally do not add this because it's just too risky. Enough people have had issues as it is with the windows option that it seems foolish to make it easy enough to "one-click" it.

So many people have gotten bored of the compression taking long, force-quit it halfway through and corrupted their games and data folders. Even some bluescreens that can't be pinned down (that occur with the official console version as well) so it's just too risky for no real benefit.
