Q-Zip (Queue-Zip) is a powerful, cross-platform desktop application designed for batch-processing file archives. It provides a robust, job-based workflow that allows users to manage multiple compression tasks with distinct, granular settings for each job, or control them all with a powerful set of global defaults.
Built with a modern tech stack, Q-Zip offers a sleek, responsive user interface for an efficient and intuitive file compression experience.
Please be aware that Q-Zip is currently in a pre-alpha, non-functional state. It is under active development, and core features are not yet implemented. This repository represents a work-in-progress.
