2.7 line is focused to a
major GUI update, featuring a clearer taskbar, and compression and
extraction stages with a simpler, task oriented interface, whithout
losing the
flexibility of
composing job's layout from multiple sources and ability to toggle
between browser and job definition mode as in previous versions of
the program.
In PeaZip 2.7 it is possible to save/restore layouts also for
extraction jobs (not only for compression), simplifying saving and
restoring previously definited backup or restore tasks, and to compress
files/folders into individual archives from archive creation interface;
it is also possible (optionally) to open automatically the output path
after
extraction/compression operations, like some other archivers does.
FreeArc backend is updated with new 0.51 version, allowing creation of
self-extracting ARC archives, and 7z backend is updated to 9.07.
PAQ, LPAQ and ZPAQ are supported for archiving and extraction; ZPAQ
support is still partial, allowing only saving and restoring to
original full paths (recommended for backup/restore only, rather than
for general purpose archiving tasks).
On Linux, .desktop files (KDE) and Nautilus scripts (Gnome; needs to be
manually copied in script's folder) were updated to
use the new extraction dialog.
Windows installer was updated to create context menu's extraction
entries only for archive types, and to restore association of ZIP files
with Compressed Folder utility when PeaZip is uninstalled.
A total of 95 file extensions are supported.
