suggest adding a Scheduler or Queue

[bufce2010]

I really hope if there will be a feature in the future that allows you to queue multiple folders for compression one after the other. maybe a 5 minutes wait time between each task to allow PC to cool down

For now, I was able to achieve that using CMD or PowerShell:

Edit-1: Added -e to skip known uncompressible extensions

cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64

compact.exe /S /I /F /C /EXE:LZX -e ".wmf;.mkv;.mp4;.wmv;.bik;.bk2;.ogg;.mpg;.m2v;.m4v;.vob;.mp3;.aac;.wma;.flac;.zip;.xap;.rar;.7z;.cab;.lzx;.vssx;.vstx;.onepkg;.tar;.gz;.dmg;.bz2;.tgz;.lz;.xz;.txz;.sys" "D:\*"

timeout 60

shutdown /s /f /t 300

(yes, I'm going to compress full partitions :)) )
