Compression

[Dustin Henning]

For the record, 7zip has a gzip option (along with several others), this is
the option I used.  Maybe the file is tarballed before it is  gzipped?
Otherwise the specific settings matter.  Regardless, it occurred to me after
I sent the e-mail that I could open, save, and delete the uncompressed copy.
Thanks,
	Dustin

7zip is not gzip.  So the problem is that gnucash cannot read the 7zip
file..  just load the file into gnucash as a non compressed file and gnucash
should still compress when it writes out.

	I tried searching nabble, but I'm not familiar with nabble, so I
could have been doing it wrong.  Regardless, searching "GnuCash gzip"
returned way too much nonsense.  I believe I read that the GnuCash XML file
is compressed with GZip and this can be turned off.  I don't want to turn it
off, but I have found that when I decompress the file to edit the XML and
then recompress it, GnuCash thinks it is invalid (even though it will open
the plain XML fine).  This means either A) I'm remembering wrong thinking
gzip or B) the compression settings have to be very specific.  I'm on
Windows, so I'm using 7-Zip to decompress and would prefer to use it to
recompress as well.  Can someone point me toward the information on the
exact compression used or tell me what settings I should use in 7-zip (or
outside of 7-zip, for instance, the filename before compression)?  Thanks,
	Dustin
