Hello, is there any way to, at this time, to read ASCII data that is Gzipped (GNU zip)?
If not, could I request this to be a feature in the next releases?
Thanks!
EDIT: What i mean is...choose a folder with .csv.gz (or .txt.gz) files and create an usable DataSet from that folder..

This is not supported. You can enter a support ticket in the queue (with no promises) but frankly, I think it's too exotic to consider (ain't worth the trouble).
Wouldn't it be easier for you to expand the .gz? If it's part of your daily routine, how about coding a simple script or batch file?

I am wondering if there will be a slight increase in performance due to smaller I/O operations (which is slower) in exchange to a larger CPU charge (which is faster)...while loading each Symbol...aside from a good HD-space saving, which could be considerable depending on the size of the data...
What do you think regarding the performance aspect?
But I understand your reply.

If you want to save HD space, why not compress the folder using NTFS built-in compression? There's a good chance that your drive is already using NTFS, so why not enable compression for that ASCII folder?
You would hardly notice any performance increase (I think) because ASCII provider has a Cache feature that converts raw ASCII files into native binary files. They're "easier" to access (no need to parse).
