- Update to 7.6.0
* BACKEND
- (Winodws, ReactOS) McMilk codecs in 7z\Codecs path are now
automatically checked at PeaZip startup, in order to disable
them (moving in 7z\Codecs\bk) on systems not capable to run
them (as XP or ReactOS), and re-enable them on other systems;
this works for both Portable and installable packages without
requiring manual intervention
* CODE
- Various fixes
* FILE MANAGER
- (in left navigation panel) Archive treeview is now
automaticaly updated accordingly to browsing in file manager
area
- This option can be fine tuned in Options > Settings >
Archive manager

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

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

incompatible with Windows XP, are deactivated when installed
on XP machines, consequently the error messages are no longer
triggered when using 7z backend

* BACKEND
- (Linux) p7zip 16.02 superseded by sznick/p7zip fork 17.02,
not available for legacy 32 bit platforms added support for
