Post From: Compress a specific symbol's data file, not all of them

From the documentation, it seems that compression of data files can only be performed on all symbols, or none of them. Is this accurate?

For some data files I have no need for tick data (TICK-NYSE, for example). For others, I do. Further, these non-contract symbols like TICK-NYSE or stocks like AAPL grow forever, so, I'd be happy to compress them every so often. Futures contracts, however, I never want to compress, especially given that the contract expires and the file size is ultimately capped.

Is there a way to compress only specific symbol data files?
