PeaZip allows to apply powerful multiple search
filters to archive's content; create and extract
multiple archives at once; create self-extracting
archives; export job definition as command line;
save archive's layouts; bookmark archives and
folders; scan and open with custom applications
compressed and uncompressed files etc...

Other features: strong encryption, robust file
copy, split/join files (file span), secure data
deletion, compare, checksum and hash files, system
benchmark, generate random passwords and keyfiles.

Installation and integration in *x systems:
DEB package can be installed on 64 bit Linux using
dpkg -i --force-architecture to omit architecture
check.
On 64 bit systems, backend binaries in PeaZip/res
path can be freely replaced by users with
respective 64 bit counterpart (if available).
PeaZip Portable doesn't need installation and can
be used from removable or remote paths without
changing the host system (useful is system needs
to stay library-freezed).
'Freedesktop_integration' folder in PeaZip's path
contains .desktop files and Nautilus scripts to
help users to configure tighter integration of
PeaZip with desktop environment's menus

Compilation and porting:
Current PeaZip's binary packages are precompiled
for GTK2 widgetset.
PeaZip is developed using Lazarus/FreePascal which
supports compiling the sources for various
widgetsets: Win32, WinCE, fpGUI, Carbon, Qt, GTK1,
GTK2.

Changelog:
 2009 05 03
2.6 release is targeted to a majour 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.
