  Not quite true.  If you turn off "Automatic Compression" for
AutoDoubler, but keep DiskDoubler around, you can compress files
manually, & tell it to 'automatically' recompress the files later...
This should do what you want...

  Theoretically, you can do the same thing with SpaceSaver (tell it
not to compress automatically, & use Magic Menu to do the choosing),
except that you will have to recompress manually.

Disclaimer: I own AutoDoubler 2.0, DiskDoubler, Stuffit Deluxe 3.0,
and More Disk Space.  I don't currently use any of them to compress
transparently on my Mac, since I just got a big drive.  I do plan on
evaluating them in more depth when I get my 40 Meg Powerbook.  *grin*
