Reading the commit message and https://devtalk.blender.org/t/remove-support-for-saving-memfile-undo-steps-as-blend-files-proposal/33544/14 explains why we loose the original file name and save location (which is a tad sad), not sure about the Compress setting.

CC @JacquesLucke (setting this to High Severity to get attention even though the reality might be that efb511a76d was a change that we now have to live with -- because the tradeoff pays off in other areas)

Ideally both the filename / location and compression would return back to the way it was. Whilst the new version is 'technically' it is better, our artists never complained about the lockups that an autosave would create.

Worst case, can we get the quit.blend / autosave files, to default to the system default of whether compression is turned on / off?

This shouldn't really be a fundamental limitation of the changes we did to auto-save, it's more like something that was overlooked.

I did notice that there is this line: const int fileflags = G.fileflags & ~G_FILE_COMPRESS;
This disables compression, but that ideally shouldn't affect the state of the option after loading quit.blend.
