    Description

    Zend_Filter_Compress can compress complete directories but it would be handy if it could compress an arbitrary user defined array of files.

    eg:

    $filter = new Zend_Filter_Compress(array( 'adapter' => 'Zip', 'options' => array( 'archive' => 'filename.zip' ), ));

    $compressed = $filter->filter(array('file1', 'file4', 'file5'));

    This does not work.

    LZF for example can only compress strings... it does not accept files.

    that's true - but 'zip' and 'tar' do support files. Zend even supports to zip up a complete directory, but not an arbitrary list of files. Hence this feature request.

    I am also looking for exactly this functionality. Hope it is getting implemented.
