Such a feature should be quite easy to implement with the current file system abstraction and especially the future data store mechanism. Such an implementation would be totally transparent to the client, i.e. files would automatically be compressed/encrypted during save and decompressed/decrypted during retrieval. Then again, using a compressed/encrypted file system on the OS level would probably serve the same purpose in a more optimized and failsafe manner. BR, Jukka Zitting
