Perhaps better added to the notification bar
at the foot of the screen.

Add a flag box on the schematic page to show
the setting? Could work for other 'saved' settings, too.

I find that somewhat troublesome, because
simulations won't run the same every time you fire it
up. I like it when you know exactly what you're
getting. While it is true that waveform compression
can be more trouble than it's worth, this makes
controlling it somewhat random.
Note that waveform compression settings are now remembered
in version 24.1, for the exact reason of making it
consistent every time LTspice opens. ...
But that might not happen!
Let's say I want to always not use waveform compression.
So I set it up that way. Then, one day, I run a simulation
that re-enables it. The next day, I resume my other
simulations, and a week or a month or year later I discover -
to my surprise - that LTspice has been using waveform
compression ever since that one simulation weeks earlier.
That is not desirable behavior, in my opinion.
It could also go the other way, where I want to use
waveform compression, but later I run a single simulation that
disables it, and now I'm stuck with that until I notice, and
change it back.
... Nowadays, available storage space is sufficient
for most simulations, so the motivation for compression is
reduced, ...
Agreed.
I suppose it's possible that enabling waveform compression
MIGHT let some simulations run faster, by not having to save
as much data to the drive, especially if it is a slower HD.
... and problems due to its lossy nature are fairly
common. Better to utilize a temporary directory for raw
files, and limit saved signals and/or turn on compression
when necessary.
Definitely.
