Auto Compress File

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Five stars for me: a very useful add-on, highly configurable.

Nevertheless, I have a little complaint and a feature request.

1. After the first confirm popup asking if I want to compress, clicking Yes, I was prompted by a second one, for the name.
IMHO, the cancel button doesn't function: it should be an abandon, while now it prompts indefinitely with the same popup.
Three options here:
a. Don't show a cancel button. (very bad choice, for me)
b. Send the email immediately, leaving the attachments uncompressed
c. Come back to the editor (useful if I notice a missing attachment or something wrong in the text: imho the main reason to cancel, at this point)
Explaining it in the same popup, of course

But maybe you could simplify and boost the whole behaviour by prompting the user only one time:
- a check button "Compress?" -better if selected by default or not by a configuration option-, and an entry field for the name (hidden\editable depending the check),
- a "Send" button,
- a "Cancel" button, to come back and modify something wrong or missing

2. I don't know if it's possible, but what is really missing is the availability to protect the zip with a password.
A second entry field ("blank for not"). Or a check button and an hidden\editable entry field? I don't know.

Thank you in advance
Bye
