Software Update: PeaZip 6.7.0

Version 6.7.0 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:

backend

• Updated to Pea 0.65
• Updated to 7z 18.06

Code

• Updated to Wolfgang Ehrhardt math libray util_2018-11-27

File Manager

• Various fixes and improvements
  • can now convert images to Windows icon .ico format
  • fixed bug in redundant directory removal in “Extract to new folder”
  • fixed bug preventing opening some archives created on Unix systems
  • fixed bug showing incorrect file count for displayed archive content in some cases

Extraction and archiving

• Multiple archiving and extraction tasks are now performed in a signle instance of the graphic launcher, which is easier to hide / move / resize on screen
  • upper progress bar shows progress of the current task, progress bar on the bottom of the form shows overall progress (if multiple tasks are launched)
  • Previewing files in archive can now be disallowed – avoids leftover data even in cases of system crash or if the application is forcedly arrested – setting Working path to new option “None (no preview)”
• Command line switch -ext2full remapped to -ext2main, in order to avoid duplication of analogous functions now main program’s extraction form is the standard UI for full featured extraction

Windows & Linux installers

• Reduced package size transforming PeaLauncher from standalone executable to form of PeaZip application
