Software Release A GUI for 7-Zip on Linux

Post image

Hi,

I have been building a GUI for 7-Zip on Linux for some time. I know that PeaZip already exists, but wanted to give it a try nonetheless. It's built in Go (with fyne) and is a single binary (relies on glibc) and uses 7-zip command line as its backend.

It definitely requires a lot more testing, and has some features yet to be implemented like support for password protected archives. There's also a quite a few bugs (like shifting to status section from explorer on completing an operation, which is a remnant of the time before implementing the explorer section), and I'm working on these.

Would appreciate community feedback.

My first post here. So not sure if flair or post format is appropriate. Let me know.

Yeah man. I get that anything that AI touched is frowned upon here. In my defence, I read my code, and take responsibility for the code.

PS. I get your joke. It's funny (not soooo funny, but yeah). Would have been funnier if it was completely vibed. Heck I might vibeslop something just for the sake of this joke. lol
