    I was wondering if you'd be interested into adding compression support for the image files, e.g. 7z or zstd, if possible. It could significantly decrease file sizes.

    I'm trying to get rid of a few Pismo Private Folder files, which do have these advantages.

    If we compress an encrypted image file, the compression rate would be almost null.
    It would be best to compress data before the encryption. To achieve that, the best is probably to use the NTFS compression.

    Yep, I thought as much, but I was wondering how deep the "proxy" aspect was and whether the compression would be possible beforehand.

    That being said, I guess NTFS compression is somewhat capable to do the same.
