Upgrade StorageMozilla Archive Format
I wonder whether it would be possible to save the snapshots in an archive format rather than to save hundreds of tiny files in a folder.
I've com across Mozilla Archive Format (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/mozilla-archive-format/) which does the job just fine (though i don't know which other browsers are capable of opening it).
Backing up the zotero folder can be a pain because of the many tiny files that take long time to copy/zip.
Would it be possible to use the plugin for taking the snapshots? Or put it in a zip file similarly to it?
Also, is there a way to turn off automatic snapshots?
PS: a snapshot of the above page yielded 127 files and 2.68 MB, whereas a MAF-file of the same page was only one file with 864 KB plus better visual similarity to the original!
