Description
What about an additional option to just pack (tar) folders, no need to compress, most of time all files are already compressed (office, video, most of files we use are already compressed) and we just want to keep everything a simple file to maybe download or distribute easier, a kind or archiving maybe projects in a simple file. That would be great and would save a lot of CPU consumption in case of compressing files already compressed in a folder, that is very costly and a lot of time also would be saved
