Feature Description
Currently, Forel includes an Uncompress action in the file operations list, but there is no corresponding Compress (or archive) action available. Adding a compression action would allow automating workflows that package files or folders (e.g. creating .zip or .tar.gz archives).
Proposed Solution
Add a Compress action under the standard file management section (alongside Move to folder, Copy to folder, Rename, and Uncompress).
Useful configuration options for this action:
- Format: Standard archive formats (at least
.zip, optionally .tar.gz).
- Destination: Option to place the archive in the current directory or specify a target path.
- Archive Name: Custom naming scheme or inherit from the source file/folder and/or Timestamp.
- Cleanup (optional): Toggle to delete the source files after successful compression.
Context / Use Case
Automating file organization often involves both extracting incoming archives and bundling processed files into archives before moving them to long-term storage or cloud destinations.
