![]() It even works as a filter.ħz doesn't create archives with full filesystem information on UNIX, so you'd need to use tar before using 7z (but since 7z stores other information about the tar file, I'd recommend using xz, as it is designed for it): tar cf - file1 file2 dir | 7za z -si archive.tar. Xz is a UNIX tool, that uses LZMA2 for compression, but works the way gz, bz2, etc works. If you want to use the same compression algorithm with your tarballs, use the -J switch with tar: tar cJf file1 file2 dir Open PeaZip, select one or more archives and click Extract in toolbar or context menu, or use quick extraction destinations as explained at the previous point. ![]() ![]() All in all a solid update of a great program. The new features, especially the recursive crawling of folders for archives, are nice to have and will improve the handling of multiple archives that need to be extracted. The new release improves the programs command line options, and introduces a new folder (/res/batch/) which includes samples and system integration files. PeaZip 6.0 improves the archive manager in several ways, but mostly under the hood and not visible in the interface. I recommend this method in case Windows users can't open 7z archives (in case you want to advice a tool for that: PeaZip). PeaZip users who use the file archivers Smart Extraction feature may select the option now alongside other options on program startup. It can also create self-extracting archives with the -sfx switch: 7za a -sfx archive.exe files1 file2 dir Usually in the package p7zip, you'll get the 7z and 7za command, with which you can create your own 7z archives.ħza can also decompress standard ( pkzip) zip archives (and create them as well with the -tzip switch).Ĭompressing: 7za a archive.7z file1 file2 directory/ PeaZip introduces some concepts to improve the way archiving-related tasks are handled, bridging the gap between GUI and command line based software. Well, when it comes to distributing files for a variety of operating systems, I'd recommend 7-zip.
