Changelog

BACKEND
Pea 1.14

CODE

Expanded and re-organized (peazip)/res/share/batch directory with scripting and system integration examples
New sample scripts and system integration items are now available for directly creating archives in main supported formats, and for adding/removing comments to archive
Scripts are now sorted in "bat" and "sh" subfolders
Windows Sendto links and .reg files for context menu entries are now collected in "Windows" subfolder

FILE MANAGER

Added support to Apple iWork IWA file formats, .numbers, .pages, .key (Keynote)
When "Try to open archives with errors" flag is set, errors are suppressed only for listing operations, so the app can now display error messages when previewing a file (e.g. wrong password)

EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING

Added pre-set split size for Blu-Ray DL, XL3, XL4
Added function to add, edit, remove archive-level comment in RAR and ZIP/ZIPX files
Keyboard shortcut for comment editor is Alt+M
Comment can be set for the archive being browsed, or for one or multiple archives at once (even of mixed types), in this case the same comment is set for all the selected archives
Comment can be manually edited or loaded from text file (selected from dialog or dragged on the form), and can be saved to text file for future use
Comment con contain UTF8 characters and are limited to 64 KB for all formats (RAR standard would allow 256KB comments but some Rar.exe versions does not support 64K+ comments), please note some other archive managers may not support UTF8 comments, or such large comments
RAR comments limitations
Writing comments to RAR archive requires Rar.exe or equivalent installed on the system, reading comments does not require Rar.exe
Cannot currently read comment from multi volume RAR archives, and from legacy RAR4 archives (but new comment can be written)
 ZIP/ZIPX comments limitations
Consistently with 7-Zip and WinRar, comments are not supported for spanned multi-volumes ZIP/ZIPX archives
 It is possible to set comment from command line scripts with following syntax:
 peazip -setcomment commentstring archive1..n
 peazip -setcommentf commentfile archive1..n
 peazip -removecomment archive1..n
New switches to directly add files and folders to Brotli, BZip2, GZip, TAR, WIM, XZ, Zstd, and Zpaq format archive, with latest options saved for selected format
Directly add files and folders to archive in the specified format, with latest options used for that format (-add2zpaq switch sets last used *PAQ format), TAR is automatically applied when folders and/or multiple files are sent to formats which supports single file compression (Brotli, BZip2, Gzip, XZ, Zstd)
Syntax: peazip (-add2brotli -add2bzip2 -add2gzip -add2tar -add2wim -add2xz -add2zstd -add2zpaq) file1..n
If no input file or folder is provided after the switch, the archive creation screen remains open for input
The switches can be used in scripts, and for system integration (links, .desktop files, Automator scripts)
Same switches in -add2multi* form can be used to integration with Windows registry

INSTALLERS

(Windows) Add to GZ, XZ, and Zstd are now available as choices in Context menu entries screen
(Windows) A single re-configuration wizard now works for Win32 and Win64 packages

Bandizip is an archive tool that supports a customizable interface, the searching of archives by file name, file splitting, password protection, self-extracting archives, and varying levels of compression. It supports the creation and extraction of most common compression formats, as well as modern formats ZIPX and 7Z.

The program's "High Speed Archiving" function will allow you to compress or bypass the files its own algorithm on multimedia files (AVI, WMV, MP3...) or archive files (ZIP, RAR, 7Z...) that won't benefit from additional compression. This can increase archiving speed dramatically. Extract formats supported include 7Z, ZIPX, RAR, ALZ, EGG, TAR, BH, LZH, BZ2, ISO, CAB, WIM, XZ, ARJ, ZIP, Z and more.

NonCompressibleFiles (Nicht komprimierbare Datei) ist ein kleines Programm, das es ermöglicht, auf die Schnelle eine oder mehrere nicht komprimierbare Dateien, oder maximal komprimierbare Dateien zu erstellen.

Der Sinn des Programms liegt darin, dass man diverse Tests mit diesen Dateien anstellen kann, wie z.B. Kompressionsprogramme auf ihre Performance zu testen, oder andere Programme, wie z.B. FTP-Programme, um bei der Übertragung festzustellen, ob die Daten komprimiert werden oder nicht, oder das Verhalten bei mehreren Dateien zu testen. Ebenso Solid State Drives, bei denen Daten komprimiert werden, um die Performance zu steigern.

Mit dem Programm kann man tausende von Dateien erstellen lassen, um das Verhalten der Programme oder Hardware (z.B. pci-e ssd) bei mehreren Dateien zu testen.

NonCompressibleFiles muss nicht installiert werden, kann bequem vom Desktop aus ohne Installation gestartet werden und ist sofort einsetzbar an allen Windows Betriebssystemen.

BACKEND

Pea 1.15 from checksum/hash screen context menu can now save selected CRC or hash values for all listed files, compatible with Coreutils sha256sum and similar utilities

CODE

Improved memory management and listing algorithm
Updated Browser optimization levels to more efficiently scale for browsing archives containing a very large number of items; for 256K items archive as reference:
  Up to -10% memory usage (in Always pre-parse mode)
  Up to +25% browsing speed (in Normal browsing mode), up to +50% browsing speed (in Always pre-parse mode)
  New quicker Fast browsing mode with pre-parsing applied only if errors are detected opening the archive
 Up to +60% speed for tasks working on multiple separate small archives
7z alias is now applied also when using system's binary
It is now possible use binaries in system paths (e.g. as found in $PATH) for all supported Operating Systems
The option can be set for 7z / p7zip backend only, or for all backend binaries
The option can be hardcoded at compile time with HSYSBIN constant, 0 (default) means the value is not hardcoded and the option is read from configuration
The option does not apply to specific binaries which are meant to remain in app's own path: peazip binary itself, pea, PeaZip configuration wizard (Windows), and legacy binaries in unace and urar5 plugins
Improved batch command switches for archive creation
Added -add2arc, -add2sfxarc, and -add2rar switches (usable in batch scripts, context menus, .destop files, Automator scripts) to directly add items to ARC, self extracting ARC, and RAR archive (needs WinRar rar.exe or equivalent being available in the system)
Those switches can be used in .reg files in the add2multi* form
Removed legacy code for functions of -add2* and -add2separate* switch groups
Various fixes and improvements

FILE MANAGER

Adder quicker control to change ZIP filenames encoding
Codepage can be selected from a list in main menu Options > Text encoding, from file manager's context menu, and from archiving / extraction context menus
The last item in list "Text encoding..." brings to Settngs, Advanced tab which shows all text encoding options
Improved detection of empty archives
Improved tabbed browsing
Added option to Save tabs (switch in tab bar context menu)
If the option is checked open tabs will be saved on exit and re-loaded when the application is opened again
It is now possible to define at compile time the maximum number of allowed tabs with MAXTABN constant
Can now reopen last closed tab
Updated main theme and default system icons
main theme now shows extension text into image of most common archive formats (7Z, RAR, ZIP)
main-noextension theme and system icon pack are now available separately from Themes and Icons repository

EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING

Fixed working dir parameter for ARC format, some forms of the address were previously not properly supported by the backend
Improved task scheduler with better usability of the Pause button when running multiple fast tasks
Improved extraction context menu, more elements are now available when extracting items from archives, previously those elements were available only when extracting entire single or multiple archives

CompactGUI enables the use of a graphical interface for the Windows 10 command line tool compact.exe allowing space saving file compression.

This app was designed to make using the Windows 10 command-line compression tool a bit easier for users that are not as familiar with using the command line. The Windows 10 tool can be used for the compression of any file with the goal of saving space. This is where ComapctGUI steps in. It provides a user-friendly UI that will help you compress files via compact.exe without needing to know all the command prompt commands.

Freeware

Changelog

    Bug Fixes:

    Fixes the program crashing when a selected folder contains subdirectories/files you don't have permission to access. #395 #401

    New Features:

    Hovering over the Estimated Size region will now show an overview of all compression modes (and total number of user submissions) that contribute to the estimate. This way you can see exactly which compression mode is worth using for a given folder.


3.1.1

Fixes:

    Partial fix for CompactGUI crashing on start (or failing to start) due to corrupted settings.json or watcher.json files
    I still don't know what causes the corruption to happen in the first place, but now if it detects a corrupted file, it will get rebuilt rather than crashing.
    Fixes the main window starting up with the title bar hidden on low resolution displays.
    Additionally, if the program detects that it cannot fit on screen, it will scale itself down to do so.
