Furthermore, maybe it could check the compression type if any on the |
| 20 |
original and then |
| 21 |
a) If file isn't compressed yet compress with the chosen method |
| 22 |
(compressor) by user |
| 23 |
b) If file is compressed with the same compressor than chosen by user do |
| 24 |
nothing |
| 25 |
c) If file is compressed with a different compressor than chosen by |
| 26 |
user, decompress and recompress with chosen compressor |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Sounds like that could work as a long term solution. No? |
