[Feature Request] Add Option to Choose Compression Algorithms #172

Open Minionguyjpro opened 5 months ago

Minionguyjpro commented 5 months ago

What feature do you want to see added?

I would like to see an added feature to add the ability to choose a compression algorithm like LZMA, LZ4, GZIP and others. This because some other algorithms have other features and advantages, such as better compression.

Are there any alternatives?

I haven't tried an alternative, though I'd say that it is the most ideal if the plugin had an option for this.

The only native compression options we currently have access to is DEFLATED or STORED (uncompressed). We will have to investigate to see what other options we would be able to add.

I more mean the way of compressing, like adding compression methods to instead of ZIP also have Gzip, Xzip, LZMA(2) and e.g. 7Z or maybe also RAR. Since some of those methods have a better compression ratio than others, which would improve on disk space usage. Maybe this can be done using some Java libraries that provide support for those compression methods?
