File/Archive Manager

(Windows) Improved UTF-8 support
PeaZip can now create and extract archives with UTF-8 filenames, both from application and from system context menu
browsing archives with UTF-8 filenames is possible but it is still under development (warning icon is displayed)
console tab shows if action can be exported as script ANSI-safe (can run on legacy systems regardless the encoding), codepage-safe (can run on legacy systems with same codepage of original device), or if requires full UTF-8 environment (system, command/script interpreter)
Some file management functions now supports UTF-8 filenames
Improved password management
If password is set to not being kept for the entire session, it is cleared after every operation (archiving, extraction, browsing the filesystem) except while browsing archive file, as password may be needed for listing the archive content
Number of files/folders selected for cut/copy is displayed in Clipboard panel and in status bar's hint
