Compression option after updating BigStitcher #118

Hi folks,

First of all, I just want to thank everyone involved in creating and maintaining BigStitcher. We constantly generate TB sized czi files using our Lightsheet7 system. I have heavily incorporated BigStitcher into all my lightsheet data analysis workflows and has helped me a lot. A big fan :)

Thank you for also including the option to re-save datasets into the ZARR format. I tested this and realized that after the update, the format to compress the final HDF5/Zarr/N5 file has disappeared. Have I missed where to find the compression option after the new update?

Here is the pipeline I follow - open dataset >> Stitch tiles>>Image Fusion>>Resave as HDF5/n5/Zarr. When I do this and resave as a new HDF5 file, I end up getting files which are sometimes bigger than the raw dataset. Is there a way to include the compress option in this step?

Thank you!
