PeaZip 8.0.0 introduces many under the hood updates, improving how container type files are managed for browsing and conversion, improving use of TAR format, allowing to create scripts requiring interactively typing password, improving search, preview functions, random password generation.
GUI was updated with new style menu and icons in status bar to make easier to change look&feel on the fly - i.e. switch from list to viewer mode for previewing images.
It is now possible to customize the default action PeaZip will take opening an associated file type - open (as usual) or directly extract it.
PEA is updated to 1.01 version, which improves capabilities to run in background and interact with other applications.
On Windows systems, makecab.exe can now be easily used from PeaZip, as pre-set available in Advanced tab of custom archive type screen.
A total of 218 file extensions can now be managed by PeaZip, with addition of .xappx format, and various Open Packaging Conventions filetypes (.3mf, .vsdx, .mmzx, .aasx, .slx, .scdoc).
