PeaZip 8.2.0 improves command line usage with updated archiving and
extraction switches, and introduces (peazip)/res/batch folder which
contains sample scripts and system integration files (SendTo and
freedesktop_integration folders are moved here).
The archive manager is now capable of optionally displaying
compression/encryption method, and modified, created, accessed
timestamps for each item in archive, and to display number of items
contained in each folder.
It is now possible to chose to keep extracted files even in case errors
occurred during the extraction, and working with spanned files was
improved.
Smart extraction is now available as default action to take at
program's startup, alongside Open, Open as archive, Extract (full),
Extract here.
This release focuses on improving user experience on Linux systems,
updating installers, improving the automatic configuration of
applications for "open with" actions, and displaying more system's
paths in the file manager.
Backend were updated to Brotli 1.0.9 (Linux).
A total of 225
file extensions can now be managed by PeaZip, with addition of .apkm,
.apks, and .aab Android package formats, and of Lzip .lz (on Linux
versions only).
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.

CURRENT
2021 09 12
8.2.0
BACKEND
(Linux) Upodated Brotli to 1.0.9 version
(Linux) Added read support (browse / test / extract) to Lzip .lz file type
Added support for .apkm, .apks, and .aab packages Android package
formats
CODE
(Linux) maximum length of
CL generated on Linux systems is now increased to 128 K characters in
contrast to much more limited 32 K characters allowed on Windows systems
About screen now displays information about widget set and CPU
architecture of the build for better troubleshooting
Improved command line usage
New res\batch\ folder containing sample scripts
pointing to main app functions to help portabilize and deploy the
application on multiple environments: the directory contains sample
.bat scripts (Windows), SendTo menu links
(Windows), freedesktop_integration examples (Linux) and will expand in
future.
Fixed -add27z, -add2zip and related switches: when multiple items are
passed the archive is named accordingly the directory name of first
item, as in the GUI version of the same action
New -ext2here, -ext2folder (alias -ext2smart), -ext2newfolder switches
for CL, executing single or multiple tasks as a single sequence of
extract here, extract here smart folder, and extract here to new folder
respectively
Extraction to new folder
can now be forced to use smart folder option (-ext2folder, alias
-ext2smart) or to not use it (-ext2newfolder)
With new extraction functions extraction of multiple items can run in a
single instance without stealing the focus each time the next task in
sequence is started
SendTo links to extraction functions are updated to use those new
functions for better handling of queues of multiple tasks, now matching
features provided by context menu entries but with advantages of being
cross platform, not suffering artificial limitation of input items
number, and being much more faster and cpu/memory efficient in
receiving input list from system to application
Previous version of same switches, not running as a single instance
queue, are available with "_" suffix, i.e. -ext2here_; in this way
existing scripts does not need to be updated to benefit of new
functions, but can be easily adapted to use old version of the switches
if preferred
Improved generation of more compact command lines from GUI, with better
detection of cases of automatic switch to "extract all"
Various fixes
Fixed breadcrumb for "Open
unit as archive" in context menu, File manager > System tools
Fixed deselecting "TAR before" and selecting "Add each object to a
separate archive" it is now possible to create multiple archive at once
for types such as bz2, br, gz, zst
FILE MANAGER
(Linux) Improved system
directories shown by default in navigation tree on the left of file
manager
(Linux) Updated list of apps automatically detected for Open with
submenu; apps and scripts can be customized in Options > Settings,
Applications tab
(Linux) Enabled System tools submenu in context menu > File manager
(Windows) Improved and re-organized System tools submenu in context
menu > File manger
Improved archive browser
Added Method column to display
compression/encryption method for each single object (this column is
enabled by default)
Added Created and Accessed timestamps columns in
addition to existing Modified timestamp
column (those columns are disabled by default)
The new columns can be enabled/disabled from columns header's context
menu, and from main menu > Organize > Browser > Columns; if
enabled, those columns are automatically shown browsing archives and
hidden browsing the fileystem
Folders in 7z/p7zip archives now show
number of contained folders, files, and total uncompressed size
(displayed in same column of files' checksums)
This feature is limited on
basis of the number of items contained in the archive, and can be tuned
from "Browser optimization" dropdown menu in Options > Settings,
General tab Performances group
New Ctrl+Alt+A link to autoadjust file browser columns
Themes: added "Presets" link on the right of Application accent color
picker, allowing to quickly customize both application and text accent
colors accordingly to common color themes of reference Operating
Systems e.g. Mint, Ubuntu, Windows
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Added XZ (Linux, Windows) and Zstd (Linux) as optional algorithms
for ZIP/ZIPX compression, from Advanced tab in archiving / conversion
screen
Improved extraction
Added option to skip
testing for encryption on extraction, suppressing password requests
Improved Interactive extraction option
Empty folder is now removed
in case of error with Extract to new folder
Naming policy dropdown menu is enabled with "Interactive extraction",
allowing to resolve issues of conflicting filenames in the same archive
New "Keep files" link in
extraction progress windows in case of errors "Interactive extraction",
allows to preserve extracted files which would be otherwise
automatically deleted
New " Store all timestamps"
option (checked by default) is available in Archiving / Conversion
screen
If this option is active,
created, modified, last access time are saved to archive rather than
modified timestamp only; formats supporting this feature are: 7Z, RAR,
ZIP
Improved raw file spanning, it
is now possible to submit multiple separate input files at once to be
split to specified size
Improved support for .xxxaa spanned files from Unix/Linux split command
New option for default behavior at
application startup: Extract all here (smart new folder)
This option can be set from
Options > Settings > Archive manager
Doubleclicking on an a file of associated type, or clicking Open from
context menu on a group of selected files associated with PeaZip, the
selected action is performed
Available actions: Open (default), Open as archive (force trying to
open file as archive), Extract (showing options and confirmation
screen), Extract all here, Extract all here (smart new folder)
WINDOWS & LINUX INSTALLERS
(Windows) SendTo menu
entries use new extraction functions, more efficient for handling
queues of multiple tasks, and "Extract here (smart new folder)"
replaces "Extract here (in new folder)"
With this update SendTo
functions provides same features provided by context menu entries, but
much more faster and efficient and without artificial limitation in
terms of number of input items
(Linux) Improved Linux installers
install the app in /opt/peazip directory (non
capitalized)
configuration files are saved in .PeaZip directory in user's home as in
previous releases
link peazip binary in /usr/bin
place peazip.desktop file in /usr/share/applications
place peazip.png icon in /usr/share/icons,
/usr/share/pixmaps
for DEB packages
optional .desktop files and icons are available in
(peazip)/res/batch/freedesktop_integration to provide direct access to
specific functions even on DE not supporting Actions
(DEB) place machine readable copyright file in /usr/share/doc/peazip
(DEB) packages are now named following Debian naming standard; all
other packages - Windows, Linux, portable - follows RedHat naming
standard
