2.8 line
is focused on providing a more user-friendly archive/file browser:
easier
file selection (optional row selection), custom icons for most commons
file types, display as detailed
view or list view, remember sorting column and sorting order, remember
columns
widths etc...
Multiple jobs launched at once (form program's GUI) are now executed sequentially to improve disk performances, parallel execution is available as option.
Navigation menus in browser and archiving/extraction intrfaces now shows History submenu, to quickly jump to paths visited in the current session.
In archive and extraction interfaces it is possible to set a default extraction path.
Extract to new folder is now remembered as option of Extract action, rather than being a separate action.
Extract button, within an archive, extracts selected object; if nothing is selected extracts all displayed objects (like WinRar/7-Zip). However in context menu it is possible to directly select to extract all, displayed or selected objects.
In archiving interface it was added "Convert existing archives" option, to extract existing archives before compression stage.
This option, used with "Add each object to a separate archive" option enabled, performs a mass conversion of listed archives to the desired format.
Otherwise, with "Add each object to a separate archive" option disabled, archive conversion is meant to consolidate input data in a single archive, improving compression efficency because it allows recompression of the original data from its uncompressed form.
A total of 98 file extensions are supported.

Hints
On Windows systems it may be
useful to keep the installation package,
since it can be used to change program's system integration: file
association, context menu and SendTo menu entries. You don't need to
uninstall the program if you are re-running the setup of the same
version.To run unattended installation launch the Windows installer with /SILENT parameter; use /VERYSILENT for background installation, without notification to the users.
When unistalled, PeaZip restores ZIP files association with Windows' Compressed Folders, to manually restore file associations with Compressed Folders utility run: cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder replacing .zip with any file extension it is desired to be associated to Compressed Folder utility - to restore file associations with a previous archive manager please refer to its own documentation, usually it can be done running the program's setup package, or from the application's itself.
On networks, the application can be made available to multiple users, either whith a shared configuration or with separate configuration for each user, see "Advanced settings editing" and "Customization and scripting" in the help file.
On Linux systems, PeaZip installer automatically create menu entries for KDE (on most versions); to add PeaZip to Gnome menu copy the "Archiving" folder placed in PeaZip/Freedesktop_integration/nautilus-scripts to system's Nautilus script's folder (in most versions open "Scripts" menu in system's context menu, and select "Open script's folder").
You can freely replace backend executables in PeaZip/res directory (any PeaZip release/package) with updated ones (as long as they support the same syntax) or with 64 bit counterpart, if available; in this case please note that on Linux 64 bit systems you will need ia32-libs, as long as you need to run a 32 bit executable.
To extract ACE files it is needed a separate plugin (due to UnACE closed source nature) available in Add-ons page.
Notes
* DEB (all) packages can be installed on 32 and 64 bit systems, please note that ia32-libs are required to run any 32 bit binary on 64 bit systems.
[third parts packagers: those packages can be transformed in i386 DEB if desired; i386 DEB can anyway be installed on 64 bit systems using dpkg -i --force-architecture]
** Qt widgetset packages requires Qt 4.3.4 or more recent, and needs libqt4intf.so installed in /usr/local/lib or equivalent directory (copy the file and run ldconfig; it is done automatically in installable packages), such as /usr/lib or /usr/lib32 on some 64 bit distributions.
external
resources: maintained by third parts, may
be not up to date- PeaZip's sources (LGPL v3) are written in FreePascal and requires Lazarus IDE, see notes for developers
