I also had the "compress" option disappear from the menu, but then it was restored when I upgraded to Devuan Chimaera (= Debian Bullseye). I wondered where it went, and once I even complained about the "move to" and "copy to" features having also disappeared. But I got no response, so I thought maybe it was just a choice of developers, due to security concerns or instability or whatnot. Now it makes me wonder if there might be some other cause: for example, I tend to use the main repositories early in the development cycle, then gradually move up to PSBs and usually move on to PTBs repos when it gets later in the cycle. (Somewhere I read, concerning TDE, that the PSB and PTB were better as it got near the time for upgrading to the new stable releases.) Thus it occurs to me that maybe this is due to some glitch in that process? I generally just upgrade existing packages, and as for new versions of old packages, I am an habitual packrat, and keep EVERYTHING, just in case I need to reinstall without access to internet. Unless a package has become obsolete, it ought to get installed, regardless, because I generally use dpkg to install from folders of saved packages. When I reinstall by downloading packages, I keep lists of what to download, and in what order (e.g., firewall + deps, text editors +, browsers +, keyrings, etc.); I try hard to keep my system the same, because when it comes to machines, I don't like new experiences. The question is, then, Why would those features disappear, then reappear, if I always follow the same routines in installation, and always install plugins for Konqueror, and so on? Sorry for the in-depth analysis of what might be a minor glitch, or a mistake on my part. However, as my own experience (of losing the features of "compress", "move to" and "copy to" sound similar to Leslie's description, and moreover, were part of the original question that started this part of the thread, maybe it is relevant, after all. Please feel free to trim, or to start a new thread, if appropriate.
