Furthermore, maybe it could check the compression type if any on the original and then a) If file isn't compressed yet compress with the chosen method (compressor) by user b) If file is compressed with the same compressor than chosen by user do nothing c) If file is compressed with a different compressor than chosen by user, decompress and recompress with chosen compressor Sounds like that could work as a long term solution.
