This is #15, basically. Once I redo the front-end we should have some command-line support for kicking off compression on a selected folder. I should do some actual design work rather than just, er, talking about it. Probably want a way to communicate with an existing copy and enqueue jobs, rather than spawning off new instances each time. Not sure how this usually works on Windows - I believe there's a shared named pipe namespace you can send messages down. |

Might be convenient to be able to run compactor as a post-install step when something like Playnite detects that new games have been added to the library for example and the ability to use it through a CLI interface, an API or something else could be useful for this. Compactor could go the detection work too I guess but maybe it would be a more appropriate task for an external application. Not sure if any of the existing library management software would actually allow you to set this up though, Playnite does have some kind of a plugin interface at least.
