PeaZip can extract most of archive formats both from Windows and Unix worlds, ranging from mainstream 7Z, RAR, TAR and ZIP to experimental ones like PAQ/LPAQ family, currently the most powerful compressor available.
For archive creation, PeaZip suppors a wide range of compression and encryption standard, from fastes to most powerful ones, and allows to export job definition as scripts to bridge the gap between GUI and console applications, and let the user pick the best of the two worlds.
What's new:
- 2.6 release is targeted to a major UI update: toolbar buttons now have dropdown menu extending button's functionalities (one for all, from "extract to" button's dropdown is now possible to select extraction path), and "Options" toolbar button now toggles between browser and additional tabs - options, clipboard (input/output in layout composer), filters, console.
- Navigation bar was made simpler with the introduction of a navigation menu which shows filesystem, user's bookmarks and recent files; a single point to show hierarchical, user-centered and usage pattern-centered views of system's resources.
- In the bottom area of the application, status bar now hosts quick access buttons for most used functions (enter password, create keyfile...), and buttons to show bookmarks and history area.
- 85 file extensions are now supported, and icon themes and all language files were updated.
- PeaZip for Linux now comes precompiled both for GTK2 and for Qt widgetset.
