- The Workspace Manager in 3.0 has a compress feature.
- You can even compress entire directories.
- The WM seems to opitimize disk space usage by deleting compressed
- subdirectories and files.
-
- A major problem with this scheme is that when you decide to stop the
- compress operation through the Processes panel, WM stops the operation
- and...YES YOU GUESSED IT, does not seem to recover the files it deleted.
-
- I hope I'm missing something...ie like it puts these files in the
- recycler?
