PeaZip, the free and open-source archive manager available across platforms, has been upgraded to version 10, marking a significant update filled with new features and improvements.
Key features of PeaZip 10 include the addition of a new “MTP devices” folder in the Filesystem section of the navigation sidebar for Linux users, simplifying the process of accessing mounted devices. The graphical user interface (GUI) has also been refreshed, showcasing an updated progress screen, enabling the option to disable hints and tooltips, along with an enhanced GUI rendering engine.
This release ensures that all file browser styles and sizes are now fully supported on Linux, with PeaZip also presenting special folder icons for every mode and size. The Style menu, themes, embedded icons, and the context menu have all seen updates as part of this redesign effort.
Moreover, the archiving capabilities of PeaZip have been improved, with the ability to revert the 7z / p7zip syntax level to the 17.05 and 16.02 versions available under Options > Settings > Advanced, enhancing compatibility with legacy 7z / p7zip syntax.
In addition, PeaZip 10 enhances the quick “Extract here” option in the toolbar, allowing it to display when one or more archives are selected in the file browser. It also updates the compression presets to include support for tar.gz, tar.xz, and tar.zst archives.
Internally, PeaZip 10 utilizes the Pea 1.20 backend, which now offers the capability to search for file hash values on Google and Virustotal to identify known malware. New command line switches are introduced to show a text preview of files, alongside the functionality to directly save checksum/hash results in GNU Coreutils compatible formats.
Explore the full changelog for additional information on the new features and improvements presented in PeaZip 10. You can download it right now from the official website, where ready-to-use binaries for 64-bit and ARM64 Linux systems with GTK and Qt graphical user interfaces are available.
