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 2021 02 12 7.7.1 BACKEND Pea 0.76 UPX was removed from Windows packages due the amount of false positives triggered in (low quality) security software;

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.
