PeaZip 2.8

Na de bèta van afgelopen vrijdag is nu de finalrelease van versie 2.8 van PeaZip uitgebracht. Dit archiveringsprogramma wordt onder een opensource-licentie beschikbaar gesteld en probeert zich van de concurrentie te onderscheiden door zich te specialiseren in veiligheid. Het versleutelen van data is dan ook het speerpunt van het eigen pea-formaat. Het programma kan 7z-, bz2-, gz-, paq/lpaq-, pea-, quad-, tar-, upx- en zip-bestanden creëren en diverse bestandsformaten uitpakken, waaronder ace, arj, cab, deb, iso, lha, rar en rpm. Sinds de bèta zijn nog de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:

File manager

• Item's height autosizes to fit system's DPI and fonts' size
• New keyboard shortcuts:
  • Ctrl+N create new folder
  • Ctrl+R rename file
  • Ctrl+U up to computer's or archive's root level
• Navigation menu
  • History menu is now replicated in navigation menus
  • Navigation menu in browser's context menu was grouped in a single entry

Extraction and archiving

• Archiving and extraction interfaces now shows "Use advanced filters" switch
• It is possible to execute archiving/extraction jobs with no items in layout, if advanced filters are in use
• History menu replicated in archiving/extraction navigation menus allows to quickly select paths visited in current session from archive/extract interfaces
• It is now possible to set custom default output path for archiving operations (like for extraction operations), and it is now possible to go from file browser to empty extraction interface (i.e. to add archives to be extracted by drag and drop) clicking on Extract button with no archive selected, likewise to what is possible for going to empty archiving interface
