WHAT IS PEAZIP

REVIEWS


PeaZip 9.2.0 improves the GUI with more customization options for address bar and tab bar, and re-organized support section, with easier access to online resources, documentation, issue tracker, and to settings relevant to privacy and security.
Under the hood the support for editing non-canonical archive types was improved, and it is now possible to try different methods to manage unsupported file types.
On Windows, McMilk codecs and sfx modules were updated, to support extra compression methods for .7z format (Brotli, FLZMA2, Lizard, Zstandard...), and on all platforms it is now possible to set an alias for 7z / p7zip backend to easily switch between alternative binaries.

A total of 230 file extensions can now be opened as archives 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 repository for newer language files and for any resource useful for translators.

(macOS) Fixed open custom applications
Fixed compression method is now saved accordingly for 7z sfx format and 7z format
Re-organized Help section with quicker access to online updates, Plugins, Themes, and Translations

New options in Main menu, Organize
Tab bar can now be swapped with Address bar to be shown on the top (as common on Windows file managers) or on the bottom (as common on Linux and macOS file managers)
Breadcrumb bar can be shown as plain text address field, KDE/Windows file managers -like breadcrumb (default), classic Gnome Files -like, Gnome 4 -like, and macOS Finder -like.

EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Can now set a custom alias name for 7z / p7zip binary, to make easier to use an alternative backend, in Options > Settings, Advanced tab
