Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There should be an option in Cutter (probably in Edit -> Preferences) to store the .rzdb project in compressed format. Relevant rizin issue and PR: rizinorg/rizin#1417, rizinorg/rizin#1446.

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe an option in the preference menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None. It is easy enough to just implement it.

Additional context

The relevant rizin API functions can be obtained from the linked PRs.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review linked rizin PRs (rizinorg/rizin#1417 and #1446) for compression API. Examine Cutter's preferences dialog implementation (likely in src/cutter/ or src/gui/) to add a checkbox for compressed project saving. Ensure integration with rizin API. No existing PR or assignee; this is an open feature request.
