--exclude-compressed in environement variable #3992

sorry I don't understand your question. -I = --use-compress-program For zstd, --exclude-compressed should be the default value, from my point of view, for a compressor reputed for its velocity |
I disagree. Sometimes there is a benefit to double compressing so zstd should not be forcing --exclude-compressed on everyone. You can include it yourself
|
ok some people may want double compressing, and for some cases too sometimes the compression is better. Do you double compress zstd files too ? Thank you for the command line. |
Not double .zst, but gzip+bzip2 or gzip+zstd can be a worthwhile combination |
I totally agree - this option should not be enabled by default. |
--exclude-compressed is not usable when using tar command for backups for ex.
tar cf $FILE.zst --use-compress-program zstd
Would be great to be able to ignore already compressed files in this case and probably other ones.
