Hi. Sure, as soon as the mozilla community publish a full detailed info on "what has to be changed for the addons which used to work for years now could work again"... Besides this cynical comment, i'm currently struggling to find out myself with small hints i can find on the web, and i'm really struggling... So it is not garantuee. Cheers.

EDIT: TB v60 compatibility is now OK in forthcoming ACF v1.1.0.

Great addon, but with the new v45 thunderbird, it does not work anymore.

[EDIT] TBv45 - works fine. It was my false [PDF extension on exclude list]. Sorry TrVTrV!

Hi,
I do not have any problem with TBv45.
Could please follow debug procedure and contact me at contact email please?

Regards,

Works as expected, does what it promises, very easy to use. I suggest, though, that the developer add a warning regarding the "dangerous" options that could generate the "Criteria do not match" error reported by freeGHost, since it affected me too and, possibly, many other users.

I will to try this addon on my xUbuntu and find one bug. When I attach file from folder with spaces in path and use "Compress" button addon says: "No file to compress! (Criteria do not match)"

FIXED:
Sorry! I'm not seriously test it before report about "bug".

Solution:
* "General" - "Toolbar button action": "Compress only selected attachment files", "Compress all attachment files if none is selected"
* "Compression" - "Filters" disable "Skip already-compressed files"
* "Filename" - "Source file extension": "Do not filter"

Thank you for review and for this report. Could you please contact me at official email address: autocompressfile@gmail.com? I would like to be in touch with you to understand how to solve the problem. Thank you. Regards.
EDIT : It's generally a very bad idea to disable "source file extension filter".
If there is no bug, please could you check your 4-star review.

Great addon, but still creates attachments when using FileLink...

Great addon!

When using FileLink, even if the file is uploaded onto the server (and should not exist anymore in the message), autocompress zips it, creating again the attachment.

There should be an option to disable it when using Filelink uploads.

To workaround the issue, I checked the confirm compress option (in miscellaneous), and I manually refuse to compress when linked.

All the best to you! Great work!

This is an AWESOME add-on! Works excellent!

One small thing: in the default settings all kinds of criteria are defined whether files should be compressed or not. Size of the file and percentage of compress results are such criteria. I got a message that my files didn't match the criteria. Searching on google revealed the cause of this error and I could solve it by editing the filters.

I think it would be better if the default settings were less restraining. For me compressing is not (only) about saving bandwith/filesize. It is mostly to save the recipient the trouble of having to download one file at a time. Wich in mails with many attachments is a real nuisance.

But this point is really a minor thing. It was easy to adjust the add-on to my likings.

Sehr praktisch und funktioniert beim Senden/Weiterleiten einer Email

schön wäre noch, wenn man:

1.
Wenn man noch bei BMP Anhängen einstellen könnte, dass diese nicht gezippt würden sondern in PNG umgewandelt

2.
eine vorhandene Mail, die man in seinem IMAP Postfach liegen hat mit einem großen Anhang komprimieren könnte ohne den Header mit Absender, Datum etc. zu verändern. (um den benötigten Speicherverbrauch seines IMAP Kontos klein zu halten)

Hi, thanks for the review.
Regarding what you ask:
1. It's definitely not the purpose of ACF to compress/resize/convert images. There's too much things to handle. It's not that simple (i know the thing). Use a dedicated addon for this (why not give a try to AutoResizeImage? ;))
2. It's also not the purpose of ACF to handle received messages. ACF intends to offer maximum flexibility for attached files while sending messages.
Cheers

Does not work with files dragged. Only works with files added by the button "attach". Please solve this.

If it were as simple to "Auto Zip Attachments" would be better.

However, great work and thanks for the contribution.

**Sorry for my bad english**

Questa recensione riguarda una versione precedente (0.2.4) del componente aggiuntivo. 

Hi. Sorry, but it seems you have not understood how it works or what this addon is for.
Sure it does work for dragged files! I'm sure about it because a) i never use "attach" button, and given dozens and dozens and dozens of tests i've done while developing this addon i would have noticed it b) how can the addon seriously make a difference between a file attached through the button or by drag'n'dropping?? an attached file is an attached file. final dot.
As for the "simplest" i'm sorry but you cant't get powerful features without some kind of complexity... complexity which is widely reduced by a smart thinking of default behaviour and also by exhaustive explanations of features through settings dialog and through mozilla addons website.

Furthermore, there is a dedicated support email address: if there is something unclear i'ld be glad to make it more clear.

Cheers

Brilliant! If only Mozilla would make bzip2 or (better yet) 7-Zip part of the native API...

Oh I was soooo happy when someone told me there was something similar to auto zip which is an add-on I've used for years & the developer disappeared, so I couldn't update to TB 5.

This even has a few more features, but it's too much for me to figure out.

So long as it zips files quick & easy so I don't have to do that myself, that's all that matters to me.

Thanks

Totally excellent add-on! Works very well. The only thing I would recommend is an option for auto-splitting messages greater than 10MB into chunks.

I use it with the Enigmail add-on and the signatures even stay intact.

Hi and thanks for the review. How i wish there were such feature as "archive" splitting in the mozilla API but it does not provide any option to split created file, sorry. That's the side effects of a native API, but pros are a must: lightweight, x-platform, more stable. Regards.

I think this is excellent add-on if using single-byte code for file name.
I use Windows/Japanese-OS and usually use double-byte code file name. In this case, file name encode is changed from default(Shift-JIS) to UTF-8 during compression.
TrvTrv, Could you please solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi Kuni and thanks for the review. Unfortunately, the character "issue" is due to zip library which is Mozilla API' one (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296795). As explained in tab #5 'character replacement' of settings dialog "Standard of zip format does not allow non-ASCII characters in name of compressed files". The character replacement feature is a way to solve the issue. I understand this should be a harsh nay impossible to achieve for non-ASCII alphabets, but this definitely cannot be overridden until the Mozilla API evolved.

Excellent and useful, thanks.
Is there an option to get the .zip extension automatically turned into .zi_ , so that the mail can pass through antiviruses or filters (in my company for instance, I can't receive a mail with a .zip file in it. But .zi_ works well)? Thanks

Questa recensione riguarda una versione precedente (0.1.0) del componente aggiuntivo. 

Thanks for the review. I will consider adding such feature in next release (next version is coming soon, i've fixed a few bugs), certainly in 'advanced' tab. Regards.
Edit: This feature has been added in v0.1.1.

Seems to be a good extension, however, with TB 5 under Linux there always pops up a message "no file to compress- criteria do not match" and it does not compress any file (no doc, no txt, no pdf, etc).

Questa recensione riguarda una versione precedente (0.1.0) del componente aggiuntivo. 

Hi, thanks for your review. Are you sure settings really match compression actions? I mean there are lots of settings, amongst them: by default pdf files are filtered (=not compressed) because for pdf files compression benefit is generally very poor (see Settings > Source filename > Source file extension) ; by default very small files (< 50ko) are not compressed (see Settings > Compression > Filters) ; by default files of any type for which compression benefit is too low (5%) are not compressed (see Settings > Compression > Filters). I've just re-runned an advanced test under Mandriva 2011.2, everything seems ok. If for you, there still are issues, please enable debug mode, and follow debug procedure as described in official description of addon on this site. Cheers.

An excellent add on does all what it promises. Thanks a ton. I wish there was an English page too as I do not understand this language :)

Questa recensione riguarda una versione precedente (0.1.0b33) del componente aggiuntivo. 

Thanks Socrates for this friendly and quick review (less than one day after official release). I noticed i previously put a "frenchy" link on AutoZipAttachments reviews page. Now it's ok. Cheers.
