Download Peazip 4.7

Version 4.7 of PeaZip has been released. This archiving program is made available under an open source license and downloads are available for Windows and Linux. The program aims to distinguish itself from the competition by specializing in safety. Encrypting data is therefore one of the main functions of the proprietary system pea format. PeaZip 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 changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

File manager

• Quick approximate calculation of possible compression in Archive creation interface and with List function
• Calculation of password strength in password form
• Random password generation (Ctrl+F9) can optionally create password containing symbols alongside mixed case characters and numbers
• (Windows) Added “Move to recycle bin” deletion mode, default action pressing Del key; quick deletion moved to Ctrl+Del shortcut
• Various minor improvements
  • Show thumbnails flag featured in quick browser organization menus (in context menu and status bar)
  • Open as archive featured in Open with dropdown menu in File manager bar

Extraction and archiving

• Added semaphore to improve performances, optimize system’s resource usage, and increase reliability operating on multiple instances launched from system’s context menu
  • “Extract here” and “Extract here (in new folder)” function uses semaphore to schedule one job at time, password requests are prompted at once to optimize user’s time usage and don’t interrupt scheduler’s work
  • “Extract to…” function, that already creates a single job queue, can operate in parallel to the semaphore when it is needed by the user to launch other independent jobs
• Main extraction parameters are reported in extraction interface’s form caption and on drag and drop information box
