+let's make it so if blender crashes, it will skip. let's also make a report once the batch finishes, that prints the size of the original file vs the new size, and if there was a crash (unhandled exception) during the run. No logging please.
+

+
+_**Assistant**_
+
+I'll update the `compress_blend_files.bat` script to handle Blender crashes gracefully and provide a report comparing file sizes. Let me modify the script:

+Perfect! I've updated the `compress_blend_files.bat` script with the following improvements:
+
+## Key Changes:
+
+1. **Crash Handling**: The script now captures Blender output to a temporary file and continues processing even if Blender crashes on individual files.
+
+2. **Structured Output**: The Python script now outputs structured messages with prefixes like:
+   - `SUCCESS:` for successfully compressed files
+   - `CRASH:` for files that caused crashes
+   - `SKIP_EXISTING:` for files already in output
+   - `SKIP_NOT_BLEND:` for non-blend files
+
+3. **Comprehensive Report**: After processing, the script generates a detailed report showing:
+   - File-by-file breakdown with original vs compressed sizes
+   - Space savings calculation
+   - Crash details for failed files
+   - Summary statistics
+
+4. **No Logging**: The script doesn't create persistent log files - it only uses a temporary output file during processing and cleans it up afterward.
+
+5. **Graceful Continuation**: If Blender crashes on one file, the script continues with the next file instead of stopping completely.
+
+The script will now provide a clear summary of what happened during compression, including file sizes and any crashes, making it much easier to track the compression results and identify problematic files.
