Download PeaZip 3.4

PeaZip has been updated to version 3.4. This archiving program is made available under an open source license and tries to differentiate itself from the competition by specializing in security. Encrypting data is therefore the spearhead of our own pea format. The program can create 7z, bz2, gz, paq/lpaq, pea, quad, tar, upx and zip files and extract various file formats including ace, arj, cab, deb, iso, lha , rar and rpm. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

backend

• (Windows) updated to 7z 9.17 beta

Code

• Updated units of Wolfgang Ehrhardt’s crypto library

File manager

• Improved information reported by PeaLauncher, when applicable total and selected size of extraction operation reported separately
• Improved indication of progress during long operation
  • if an operation exceeds 0.5 seconds it is shown a (simil)marquee progress bar
  • if an operation exceeds 0.5 seconds the refresh button is changed in stop button, allowing to stop current operation
    • to prevent loss of time and user’s focus a fresh instance of PeaZip is started in the last directory while the old instance is handled in background
• Added PanelIntro, usually not visible due to the speed of a normal startup
  • if startup of the program is slowed for any reason user is informed about loading progress (0 initial form status 1 configuration and theming files loaded 2 input parameters parsed and executed)
  • controls cannot be clicked for error until GUI is fully loaded and ready to accept user’s input
  • some controls load faster as they aren’t visible
• Improved file browser
  • Tighter integration with extraction interface
    • New toolbar button on the right of “Extract”, featuring a menu for
      • direct extraction of the whole archive (or selected archives) to most commonly used locations
      • check and modify most common extraction settings
    • New keyboard shortcuts available bot in browser and in extraction interfaces for “Extract all to…” (Ctrl+E or F12), “Extract all here” (Ctrl+Alt+E), “Extract all to Desktop” (Ctrl+ Shift+E), “Extract all to Documents” (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E); Ctrl+1..8 extract to bookmark’s 1..8 path (if defined); Ctrl+9 extract to default output path (if defined).
  • Extraction from context menu made context sensitive, if no archive is selected the extract/test entries are disabled
  • Added small icons mode for file browser
  • Changed Toolbar modes: 3 with large and 3 with small icons (text below, text on the right, no text), and text only mode
  • Toolbar is now set to large mode by default for better readability of main program’s function
  • Remapped function keys:
    • Ctrl+* shortcuts for status bar types remapped to Ctrl+Alt+*

• (Windows) Configure system integration entry now reachable in Options menu
• Default language file now changed to default.txt, that can be overwritten (ie by hand, or by custom installers or configuration script) to start by default the application in a non-Englih language; resetting the application will then result to switch back to the language chosen for default.txt
• Rationalized themes moving some common decoration elements from separate bitmaps to non-themed graphic resources of the executable
• Various minor fixes and improvements
