Saving Raster with ffs uses lots of disk space, any compression possible

I see that the frs files created when saving Raster to ffs consume a lot of space. e.g. a 2Mb Tiff file with 10000x10000px results in 400Mb of frs.

I tried different compression settings for ffs, but this doesn't seem to influence frs handling.

I really would need to keep the frs smaller and wonder if there is any existing or planned possibilty for this.

Thanks

Michael

Very good observation. We've not been asked this in the past but you are correct -- FRS files are NOT compressed nor is there an option to do so. Would you mind suggesting this as an idea https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/post.html?space=155 -- I can see this being a very useful thing for us to do.
