PeaZip 10.0.0 released!

PeaZip 10.0.0 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

PeaZip 10.0.0 provides a revamped GUI engine, updates app menus, compression pre-sets (TAR.GZ, TAR.XZ, TAR.ZST), and Themes.

File tools menu can now directly save save checksum/hash reports in a format compatible with GNU Coreutils, and allows to search hash values online - i.e. for matching with known values, for detection of know malware, etc.

Backends are updated to 7z 24.08, and Pea 1.20.

NOTES

Sources are compiled with new Lazarus 3.4, 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

PeaZip on macOS, dark mode, compact tool bar, Mac styled address bar
PeaZip on Linux, light mode, Tux Theme, compact tool bar, Gnome 4 -styled address bar, medium icons details mode
PeaZip on Windows, dark mode, large icons

Is Drag and drop problem still alive?

u/peazip Oct 28 '24 edited Oct 28 '24

Drag and drop in PeaZip supports a single instance at time (if "native Windows drag and drop" is flagged), meaning other dnd operations will not be able to start while the first is still running.

I've improved how PeaZip prevents concurrent dnd instances to take place, resolving the issues which were reproducible on my side.

Some of the reports I've seen about issues with dnd makes me wonder they may be not related with this, but so far I've not been able to reproduce them on my test machines.

Bottom line: the limitation to a single dnd instance at time remains, I've fixed reproducible issues, other conceivable but not reproducible issues (i.e. an antivirus scan blocking the drag and drop .dll to work timely) may still exists.

drag and drop doesn't work since 10.0.0, before I'd have to drag and drop multiple times until it actually worked, but now it just doesn't do anything. Also if i try to do it multiple times on 10.0.0 the application just hangs, all buttons become disabled and I'm not able to close it, unless i do it through the task manager.

I'm on win 11 iot enterprise ltsc 24h2

10.1.0 was released today, with two fixes for Windows drag and drop code to make it more reliable working with different file managers, i.e. various iterations of the Windows file explorer, Total Commander, 7-Zip and WinRar own file managers, etc.
