[Enhancement] Don't compress files when sharing multiple files #304

Open Mitia99 opened 1 month ago

Mitia99 commented 1 month ago

What problem is solved by the new feature Having to always decompress an archive when receiving multiple files is not convenient.

Describe the feature Don't compress files when sharing multiple files

Additional context I understand that maybe sending an archive is faster but as I said it's not convenient.

Thanks for investigating to find a way for a fast and uncompressed files transfer.

In fact, files are not compressed before sending and zipping them is only done on the receiving end as downloading multiple files simultaneously is not possible in most browsers.

There is a discussion in the following issue, where I proposed a UX change in order to solve this. Let me know what you think: https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/PairDrop/issues/40#issuecomment-2010347771

I’ll keep this issue open as it is more specific but let’s continue the discussion at #40
