2.8.x line
is focused on providing a more user-friendly archive/file browser:
easier
file selection, history submenu, custom icons for most commons
file types, detailed
view or list view, remember sorting column and sorting order, remember
columns
widths etc...
Multiple jobs launched at once (form program's GUI) are now executed
sequentially to improve disk performances, parallel execution is
available as option.
Extract button, within an archive, extracts selected object; if nothing
is selected extracts all displayed objects (like WinRar/7-Zip); however
in application's context menu it is possible to directly select to
extract all,
displayed or selected objects.
In archiving interface it was added "Convert existing archives" option,
to
extract existing archives before compression stage.
This option, used with "Add each object to a separate
archive" option enabled, performs a mass conversion of listed archives
to the
desired format; otherwise, with the option disabled, archive conversion
is meant to consolidate
input data in a single archive, improving
compression efficency because it allows recompression of the original
data from its uncompressed form.
2.8.1 update brings many improvements and fixes for a better overall
user exeprience.
The program was tested on Windows 7 and it comes with a new icon theme
(default on Windows systems) with a more familiar look and feel for
Windows users.
A total of 98 file extensions are supported.
