PeaZip 7.8.0 introduces interactive extraction option, asking user to
skip or overwrite existing files and folders, as alternative to the
classic policy-based unattended extraction - which is still available
as alternative.
It is now possible to customize file types triggering "Extract
everything for", to set global priority for compression / extraction
tasks, and to replace archive extension with a custom one.
On Windows systems, is it now supported drag&drop extraction
directly to other applications (i.e. 7-Zip or WinRar), and compression
/ extraction progress is now shown in application's icon.
On Linux, a new Qt5 build is available as portable package.
A total of 211
file extensions can now be managed by PeaZip.
Translations are
available in over than 30 languages, any help is welcome to translate
PeaZip
to new languages and to maintain current localizations up to date, so
please consider taking the time to give a look to translations
directory
for newer language files and for any resource useful for translators.

(Linux) Alternative Qt5 build is now available as
portable package
If a setting requires to restart PeaZip (localization, system
integration, change work folder) it is told in the hint text for the
item
Various fixes and improvements
FILE MANAGER
(Windows) Drag&drop now
allows to drag-extract files directly
to other applications, previoulsy it was possible to
drag-extract to the system only - 2021 03 22 fix for Windows 32 bit
version, sources and legacy Windows 32 bit packages were republished
and online hash values were updated
Righclicking an element on the breadcrumb it is now possible to use
context menu functions on it - e.g. display properties, open the path
in system's file explorer, open command prompt here, etc
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Interactive extraction option
(checked by default on Windows) enables two-step extraction for all
archive types supported through 7z/p7zip: content is extracted to a
fresh folder and then moved to actual output destination with standard
system's calls.
When interactive extraction
is used, all unneeded levels of directory nesting are removed, and
conflicts with existing files are prompted interactively to user.
Unchecking the option, it
is possible to perform single-step extraction as in previous versions,
with policy based directives to resolve naming conflicts without
needing user interaction (recommended when creating scripts).
It is now possible to set custom extensions for "Extract everything
for" in Options > Settings > Archive manager, Extract group
It is now possible to replace archive extension with a custom extension
from archiving screen, Advanced tab
In res/presets/custom
directory are provided some pre built compression settings for comic
book archive formats which uses the new custom extension feature
Priority for archiving and extraction tasks can now be permanently set
from Options > Settings > General, Tasks priority
(Windows 7+) Global progress is shown in application's icon in taskbar

Pea 0.76
UPX was removed from Windows packages due the amount of false positives
triggered in (low quality) security software; it is possible to add UPX
support installing Additional Formats
Plugin, or downloading and copying the most up to date UPX
executable in res\upx subfolder in PeaZip's directory
CODE
Command line -ext2simple

requires p7zip-full (or equivalent package)
to be installed in order to have a 7z binary compatible with PeaZip's
requirements in terms of syntax and features
CODE
Various fixes
FILE MANAGER
Added shortcut Ctrl+W to
close window, consistently with conventional use in WinRar and Windows
file explorer
Improved control over
temporary work directory, used when the archive is created or
edited, during drag and drop extraction (Windows), and content preview
Output: faster as no copy
to destination is needed, more secure as no content is
unpacked/decrypted outside of the intended destination path
Output, preview in user's temp
User's temp (as conventionally used by most applications): in case of
failure for any reason, user's temp folder is the single place to look
for orphaned data and can be safely cleaned
None, user's temp if needed: allows exceptions to perform drag and drop
extraction and preview using user's temp
None: no exceptions allowed, no temporary work data is saved, this does
not allow to perform neither drag and drop extraction nor preview, as
archive content can't be transparently unpacked and passed to system's
drag & drop handler, nor to the associated application
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Added read support to .appxbundle format

Local code page, then UTF-8
for sysmbols outside local code page (default)
Force UTF-8 for non-ASCII characters
Force local code page
Use a custom code page: an arbitrary code page can be entered by user
(the host machine needs to support the code page to run the tasks,
otherwise tasks can be saved as scripts and run on different machines)
Text encoding entry is now accessible also from application's file
browser context menu, and in Archiving and Extraction screens context
menus
Within PeaZip file manager it is now possible to use copy/paste shortcuts Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+X) /
Ctrl+V to extract items from archives to filesystem
If clipboard is set to keep
multiple selection operations at once:
Copy/paste extraction is
possible form multiple archives at once
It is also possibile to mix cut/paste and extraction operations
Extraction targets the file
system, it is not currently possible i.e. to directly paste compressed
items from archive A to archive B

EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Added " Extract everything for special file types"
(to 7Z-supported archive types) to optionally extract the entire
archive (or current path) to preview special filetypes which usually
needs external data to properly run, in example .html, .bat, and .exe
files
From Options > Settings
> Archive manager, Extract group is possible to customize "Extract
everything for..." behavior
Never use special preview,
Ask, Always (default)
Extract entire archive (default) or Extract displayed items only (items
in current path, or matching search filters) which can be faster than
extracting the entire archive
Archive timestamp preservation directive is now also applied to rename
and delete operations (previously only for add / update)
Options > Settings > Archive manager, Extract group: added option to auto close PeaZip after
extraction if no browsing actions took place (default off),
useful in example if a downloaded file was opened for quick inspection
before extraction
Options > Settings > General (Windows): added options for locking
or hiding target window during drag and drop operations, by default
target window is hidden and locked while the operation is running
Out of the box default compression levels are set to fast for ZIP and 7Z formats
compared to previous ZIP
normal default, ZIP fast is over 400% faster providing 2% worse
compression ratio, and 7Z fast is 25% faster providing 3% better
compression ratio
compared to previous 7Z normal default, 7Z fast is 500% faster
providing 5% worse compression ratio

support using Rar.exe, if featured in the system, introduced as
prototype in previous release
Other than in WinRar's application path Rar.exe is now searched also in
PeaZip's directory, in case user wants to copy the exe here for
portability: it is sufficient to copy Rar.exe from WinRar's path to
PeaZip or PeaZip Portable application's path, or in said path into res\
folder, or in a subfolder named res\rar or res\unrar: any of those
locations is supported
Add to separate archives and Archive to original path options enabled

existing archives)
It is now possible to optionally to switch to .zipx extension if a
method different than Deflate/Deflate64 is set for zip compression,
accordingly to WinZip's definition of zipx format
Please note that are currently supported, for reading and writing,
following compression methods defined in zipx standard: Bzip2, LZMA,
LZMA2, PPMd; currently WavPack, JPEG and MP3 preprocessors are
unsupported (both for reading and writing) unless proper codecs are
separately installed (cannot be added to PeaZip packages due closed
source nature of those codecs)
Repair archive function, for RAR and ARC files, is available in
PeaZip's file manager also before opening the archive, in case the

PEA 0.70
(Linux) UPX 3.96
Please note: updating UPX
in
Windows packages triggered false
positives from multiple antimalware,
consequently the update was removed from Windows packages restoring UPX
3.95.
This is not, in any way,
a fault of UPX, which is and remains a legitimate and safe software,
but being one of the tools that may be employed by malware to compress
binary payload, it is regarded as higly suspicious by most anytivirus,
and in the past it triggered several false positives for PeaZip for
Windows, almost at each update, taking months to be corrected from
antivirus teams - and some of false positives are not yet fixed after
years, nor the feedback mails were ever answered.
For the future I'll consider about introducing UPX support as a
separate plugin, so it can be stripped from main package, and manually
updated by end user, to keep it up to date e.g. in the case security
issues surfaces on older UPX versions.
If you want to use last version of
UPX on PeaZip for Windows, please replace the executable manually,
until same syntax is honored the executable can be freely replaced.

7.0.1
BACKEND
Pea 0.67
CODE
Various memory management,
speed, responsivity and stability optimizations
For archive browsing, fast
mode (equivalent to previous versions default mode):
Up to -15% memory usage
browsing archives containing large number of files
Up to +35% speed browsing and testing for encryption archives
containing large number of files
Added mass rename option
to
prepend progressive number to filenames
Action is available in
Context menu, File manager > Rename > 1, 2, 3...
Items will be numbered following the current sorting order, e.g. name,
time/date, size, extension...
Added support for navigation with
mouse buttons
Button3 go up
Button4 go forward
Button5 go back
New archive browsing optimization
option available in Options >
Settings > General, Performance group
Normal, no optimization
Fast (default, works as "fast open routine" option in previos
versions), stop pre-browsing archives containing very large number of
files to preserve performance
Fastest, do not pre-browse archives for very fast opening, as downside
this mode does not show archive information, and may non correctly list
some out of standard archives
Row select option
for file / archive browser is now duplicated in
context menu > Navigation for better discoverability
Updated translations
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Fixed: archives are tested
for encryption before extraction from SendTo menu entries and from
command line
Improved detection of multipart archives for automatic deletion after
extraction option
Alongside .001 spanning
(as
in 7-Zip and PeaZip) are now recognized .z01, .zx01, .rar01, .part1.rar
spanning conventions followed by WinZip and WinRar
2019 12 01

BACKEND
PEA 0.66
FILE MANAGER
Added option to automatically open tar
archive inside tar.* compressed files
Option is on by default,
can be set in Options > Settings >
Archive manager
Drag & drop can now be
hot swapped between standard and custom mode
while using the application
Improved finding duplicate files,
both with crc/hash and quick duplicate
check: Info column shows "D" for duplicate for each copy of file with
same digest value, except the last copy found
Sorting files for Info
column allows to quickly select (and
delete) duplicate items
Sorting files for checksum/hash column allows to easily compare
identical files as in previous versions
New function to analyze content of
folders in file browser (from column
header menu)
Info column marks empty
folders with "E"
Checksum/hash column shows content of folders: number of
directories, number of files, and total size
New scaling mechanism for better support
of high DPI in PeaZip and Pea
executables
UI elements are scaled at
run time at discrete steps zooming up
to 10x of design time size, using Lazaruz LCL scaling
Graphic is accordingly
scaled at run time, accepting arbitrarily
sized graphic sources
Embedded 16 and 32 pixel
icons are currently provided with 3x
definition (48 and 96 pixel respectively) to provide high quality
graphic up to 300% scaling
New themes for
PeaZip version 7+ uses 8 or 32 bit PNG with
transparency, and currently provides 16 and 32 pixel icons upscaled to
3x definition
for menus and file types; new icons allows to better
distinguish supported file types, at large and small resolutions
When a single file of unsupported format is passed as parameter, the
application lets the user decide if to try to open it as archive or to
add it to new archive
Various fixes
Fixed System benchmark tool
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Improved progress bar
accuracy
Option to delete input files after
task completion is now globally
applied to all archiving / extraction functions
Also batch version of
direct archiving / extraction functions now
apply the deletion on completion policy accordingly to the
application's configuration
Alternative versions of
batch commands are now available in order
to explicitly ignore deletion on completion policy, with "i" appended
after function name: -add2peai, -add2crypti, -add27zi, -add27zmaili,
-add2separate7zi, -add2sfx7zi, -add2sfx7zmaili, -add2zipi,
-add2zipmaili, -add2separatezipi, and -ext2herei, -ext2folderi,
-ext2toi, ext2tofolderi, -ext2simplei, -ext2simplefolderi
Fixed and improved -add2split batch command, can now accept multiple
input files and folders (if more than one file is passed as input it
will be consolidated in a tar archive)
WINDOWS & LINUX INSTALLERS
Improved Windows 32 and 64
bit installers
Added shortcuts to
selectively start PeaZip in add, extract or
open mode
Shortcuts are saved in
application's entry in Start Menu, and in
program's path, and can be freely moved/copied for ease of use
By default now the installer associate files and create menu
entries for all users (local
machine)
New "Install for current
user only" checkbox, unchecked by
default, to run the installer for current
user only
