There is another user option `compress-file-default-suffix` that allow user custom default suffix for compressing file in dired-mode.

These two patch allow user custom suffix for compressing folder and file in dired-mode by pressing "Z".

Hi Eli,

 

Sorry for my misunderstanding for your preview comments.

The new option `dired-compress-files-default-suffix` can be “.tar.gz” or “.tar.xz”… and it should work with variable ` dired-compress-file-suffixes` while this variable maybe extended by user. So the type:string is simple for implementation.

 

And yes, the document need update, changes are available in the attachment.

 

Please help to review the new patch. Thanks.
