PeaZip 9.8.0 is ready for download, see the full change log!

WHAT IS PEAZIP

PeaZip is an Open Source, cross-platform (BSD, Linux, macOS, Windows) archive manager and file manager utility, written with Lazarus / FreePascal IDE, which works as a command line scripts generation engine for 7z/p7zip, Brotli, Zpaq, Zstd and other open source archiving and compression tools.

This allows either to use PeaZip as an interactive GUI application, or to save tasks as batch CLI scripts for later use - for fine tuning beyond GUI’s capabilities, learning the syntax, or re-use and automation purposes.

WHAT’S NEW IN THIS RELEASE

Release 9.8.0 brings new Themes, and improved flat mode (display all archive’s content at once), alongside many improvements and fixes.

This release also adds the ability to directly extract all or selected items to any path in bookmarks, history or breadcrumb without further confirmation.

Direct extraction is implemented in app’s context menu, “Extract to” submenu, and it is also available as command line switches for scripts and for system integration (context menus, SendTo items, .desktop files, Automator scripts).

NOTES

Sources are compiled with new Lazarus 3.2, and are still compatible with Lazarus 2.x line; please note that for building the app it is now necessary to add “metadarkstyle” package to the IDE before compiling “peazip” and “pea” binaries, which can be scripted as:

lazbuild --add-package (peazip sources path)/dev/metadarkstyle/metadarkstyle.lpk

New direct extraction context menu. In the screenshot, PeaZip is using the new Tux theme and a few optional customizations (large details mode, Gnome -styled breadcrumb, compact tool bar)
