- 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
- Various usability improvements
- Can now set current path as default archiving or extraction
path
- Options > Settings > General, Advanced, and Archive manager
tabs reorganized
- Improved and updated themes, and simplified Theme tab
* EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
- Improved handling ZIP files with code pages different than
local
- Can now customize code page for reading/writing filenames
in ZIP archives, from Options > Settings,
Advanced tab it is possible to set:
- 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
- Changes from 7.5.0
* CODE
- Various fixes
* FILE MANAGER
- Create new folder is now also available for 7Z/p7Zip and RAR
supported archive types
- Improved file renaming routines
- added function to cutting file names at specified lengtt
- added function to replace / remove non-ASCII characters
- all quick rename functions (lowercase, replace string,
etc...) are now also available when browsing 7Z/p7zip and
RAR supported archive types
- Updated icons in embedded theme and added icons to
distinguish common archive types
- Updated Ten theme
* 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
- please note compression levels and compression presets
works as usual, the new settings are meant only to provide
novice users better performance balance for general purpose
tasks
- Modified existing preset scripts
- 10 from faster zip to fast zip
- 12 (Linux) from .tar.zst to .7z using Zstandard compression
(which requires single pass)
- Test mode always show details about single files in archive
* WINDOWS & LINUX INSTALLERS
- (Windows XP) additional 7z codecs introduced in 7.4 line,
incompatible with Windows XP, are deactivated when installed
on XP machines, consequently the error messages are no longer
triggered when using 7z backend
- Update to 7.4.2
* BACKEND
- (Linux) p7zip 16.02 superseded by sznick/p7zip fork 17.02,
not available for legacy 32 bit platforms added support for
FLZMA2, LZ4, and Zstd compression algorithms in .7z format
algorithm selection dropdown is now common to all platforms,
unsupported algorithms for one platform are preceeded with /
(currently unsupported /Brotli, /Lizard, and /LZ5 on linux)
* CODE
- Various fixes
* FILE MANAGER
- (Windows) File manager now displays icons for exe files for
better usability, using a separate thread; previously the
feature was enabled only if browser was set to show thumbnails
In-archive Extract and open with PeaZip and Preview with
PeaZip now forces trying to open file as archive, as in Open
as archive menu entry
* EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
- (Windows) Drop target window is locked, as in WinRar, until
drag and drop operation is completed
If password contains characters that can be troublesome if
used in scripts (i.e. quotes) it is now possible to
interactively enter password in console to create / extract
archive types handled through 7z/p7zip, ARC, and RAR backends
