Explzh 9.89 changelog:
- Double buffering is used for most drawing processes, ensuring fast and flicker-free drawing.
- Fixed an issue where "Toggle Selection" did not work correctly when displaying tiles in list view, making it impossible to cancel the selection.
- When extracting ZIP files, if the Zstandard method is mixed, the progress bar would be temporarily initialized and return to the reset position. This has been fixed.
- View items are now sorted by size, including the total size of subfolders. *Folder items are placed at the top (ascending order) or bottom (descending order).
- We have reviewed the method of storing links when the "Store symbolic links" compression option is enabled, and changed the specifications so that the destination of symbolic links is stored as a relative path. As a result, the option to store links as absolute paths has been abolished. (This is to address a vulnerability issue related to symbolic links.)
- Visual Studio 2022 17.14.18 (October 2025) applied.
