Hello,

I shoot lots of high school sports.  Bad light, high iso, fast action,
etc.  I usually pick one image, process it, then copy the history stack to
the rest.  Then I go through them one by one and tweak the exposure, crop,
rotation, noise reduction, exposure, etc. I try to remember to compress my
history stack before I move to the next image, but often don't.  Once I've
finished processing all the images, I'd like to compress all the history
stacks prior to exporting.  The itch finally got bad enough that I
scratched it.

I based the code on the delete function.  I noticed in the delete function
there is a preference to ask before delete.  I'm wondering if there should
be a ask before compress preference?  I'm also wondering where to hook into
the GUI settings to add it?

I ran it on a collection of 169 images with 102 that needed compressed.  As
soon as it started, thumbnails started regenerating.  The time to compress
the stack is negligible compared to regenerating the thumbnail.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions?


Bill
