Z runs the command dired-do-compress.
But when run on
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jidanni 34 05-26 15:51 local.osm.gz ->
/cf/updates/no_backup/local.osm.gz
Compress or uncompress local.osm.gz? (y or n) y
Failed to compress/home/jidanni/mapping/taipower/opendata/local.osm.gz
1. I thought it would try to UNcompress.
2. Well it doesn't work on symlinks at all.
So it should say
"Sorry that is a symlink. I'm not ready for that".
Or like
$ gunzip local.osm.gz
gzip: local.osm.gz: Too many levels of symbolic links
I.e., warn and give up. Like gunzip.
