Download PeaZip 4.2

Version 4.2 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 following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

File manager

• Immersive mode for file browser (full screen, no window border), toggle with Ctrl+F11 (option is volatile, not saved in configuration, it is just meant for enhancing browsing space on request)
• Improved custom applications menus
  • allows 8 more applications, links or scripts
  • automatically detects recent AVG versions, Microsoft Security Essentials, Google Chrome
• Improved thumbnail viewer
  • does not rebuild thumbnails when sorting
  • free memory changing small/large icon size
• Fixed: (Windows) browsing computer’s root may fail at application startup
• Fixed: (Windows) loading list of objects from system context menu may not work under some conditions, only the first time application runs in a session
• Fixed: descending sorting is now remembered
• Fixed: correct size is now reported in status bar for selected items over 2GB
• Various minor fixes and improvements

Extraction and archiving

• ARC format, now archiving relative paths by default, optionally absolute paths can be stored (advanced options tab in archive creation interface)
• More information displayed in report tab during operation: completed strings are displayed

Windows installer

• Reduce package size
  • some superseeded formats (lpaq1/5, paq8f/jd/l) moved to external plugin
  • uses uncompressed Winodws icons (package compression is more efficient)
