    Hi there,

    Thanks again for your plugin which is by far the best I have tried in the past 3 months. I wanna ask you to add a small feature.

    We can exclude some files, which is what people expects and it’s great. Webmasters usually exclude files because the concatenation can cause errors, not the minification (which is usually safer). The (little) problem is that after excluding a file, it’s not minified (sounds logic because he’s excluded :p). And the feature I’m requesting for is kinda simple : to let us check a checkbox to minify excluded files.

    By this way, excluded files will only be excluded from the concatenate process, but will be at least minified (For my personnal case, I have to exclude 2 big CSS files which bugged when concatenated, and minifying them can save me 50kb. Each kb is important^^)

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Usually there are no issues with merging and concatenating CSS files, unless the order in which they were added to the site was incorrect or something went wrong with the classes (not ID specific or being overwritten).

    Or, you could dequeue that particular css file and enqueue another minified css file. You would then exclude that new file on my plugin, but it would be already minified.

    The purpose of the “ignore files” box is to leave them untouched.
    Adding an option to minify excluded files might be doable but it might also break compatibility with several sites.

    I will look at that possibility in the near future.
