File compression using deep linking

The deeplink format is as follows:

compresto://open?path={path_to_your_file_1}|{path_to_your_file_2}
&[param1]=[value1]&[param2=[value2]

Each file path is divided by | character. Each param is divided by & character. Below are some example deeplinks

// compress a video
compresto://open?path=/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/video.mp4&quality=medium&videoFormat=mp4&removeAudio=true

// compress an image
compresto://open?path=/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/image.png&quality=medium&imageFormat=png

// compress video and image
compresto://open?path=/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/image.png|/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/video.mp4&quality=medium&imageFormat=png&videoFormat=mp4&removeAudio=true

File importing using deep linking

You can also import files into CompressX for customization before compressing. The deeplink format is as follows:

compresto://import?path={path_to_your_file_1}|{path_to_your_file_2}

Trigger Compresto via command line

In your favourite Terminal, you can trigger compression or importing by using the same deep link with open command.

// compression
open "compresto://open?path=/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/test1.mp4|/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/test2.mp4"

// import
open "compresto://import?path=/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/test1.mp4|/Users/hieudinh/Desktop/test2.mp4"
