well, i'm guessing this is a design decision and likely not to be remedied any time soon, so i'll just try to patch the code myself

for what it's worth, as #513 suggests, the "Compress Selected" and "Apply to all" buttons are indeed confusing. so i'll just leave this issue as a +1 for fixing the ui

and done. i've built a version where "Compress Selected" only compresses the currently selected folder

(if anyone else desires this behavior, let me know)

There's a lot of UI (UX) problems I'm plodding along with fixing in the background, I'm more or less not happy with the entire current design scheme tbh. The whole queue system and layout feels unnecessarily clunky and needs fixing

as far as the gui goes, there's much to improve; but at the same time, it exists and is a starting point if ntfs compression does become popular. but my results were varying. i'm not sure it's worth the time waiting for my files to be compressed. i considered helping with the ui updates, but i'm not sure it's worth the dev time either right now. most of my files (game folders) got very low compression ratios; especially the larger games as they are probably already maximizing efficiency as much as possible
