BACKEND
Fewer FreeArc's SFX modules are now embedded by default: arc-tiny.linux.sfx, freearc.sfx, freearc-installer.sfx, freearc-tiny.sfx. If needed, other self extracting modules can still be downloaded from FreeArc's official website for free.
Main executables are no longer compressed with UPX, resulting in a bit larger disk occupation (about 7MB) but smaller installer (about 1.5 MB) and less RAM usage (each instance does no longer need to be uncompressed in memory to run)
If it is critical to reduce disk occupation, executables can be compressed with UPX through PeaZip itself
FILE MANAGER
Added history popup menu rightclicking on refresh button in address bar
Added search history popup menu rightclicking on search button in address bar
Changed low contrast text color to avoid it being the same color of default form color in Classic Windows theme for Vista/7
Minor fixes

WINDOWS INSTALLER
64 bit version has now WIN64 in application name
New icons for most common archive formats 7Z, RAR and ZIP/ZIPX

_http://peazip.googlec...-3.9.1.src.zip

FILE MANAGER
(Windows) File manager shows image thumbnails and information about graphic files, only while browsing/searching the filesystem
thumbnails does not get stored
thumbnails calculation generates a set of 4 dedicated threads, if folder or search filter is changed a new set of threads is created and old threads are stopped as soon as possible (file level and thread level granularity: each thread can be stopped separately, at the completition of each image)
Organize > Show picture thumbnails in main menu toggle the feature on/off
No file is selected when an archive is opened (generally, anytime listing root level of the archive), so by default extract button performs "extract all"
F2 remapped to rename file(s) as in Windows' file explorer
Unchanged: Ctrl+F2 browse desktop, Shift+F2 browse computer root, Ctrl+Shift+F2 browse archive's root
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
PeaLauncher improved as standalone application, at startup accepts drag and drop of a single archive to be extracted (or alternatively it can start file selection dialog)
Elapsed time string shows minutes and seconds if the job takes more than one minute

Fast duplicate finder (selected/displayed) fully integrated in file manager, can find duplicate files in directories or search filters, uses the algorithm selected for Checksum/hash function

_http://peazip.googlec...ip-4.2.src.zip

BACKEND
Added support to open as archive EPUB ebook file format, a total of 135 file extensions are supported - formats usually not handled as archives can be opened from PeaZip's context menu "Open as archive" rather being associated with the application directly, which would be inconvenient for most users.
FILE MANAGER
Address field can now be set to be viewed as breadcrumb (default) or string, with "Show address as breadcrumb" flag in address bar navigation dropdown menu
Improved password management
Flag "Keep password for current session" (default) in password form, to remember password and keyfile for the current session; unflagging this option password and keyfile are kept until a new archive is browsed
Fixed bug in keeping "Show password" flag
Keyfile field now accepts paste and free edit
Password manager
passwords list (may even contain keyfiles name, if desired) can be saved with authenticated encryption and optional two factor authentication
a default password is used unless the user sets password and/or keyfile, recommended to keep privacy of data saved in the password manager
once password/keyfile is set, authentication will be required before accessing data from password manager
password list is shown in password form, in the dropdown menu on the left of password filed (when selected, are automatically applied to confirmation field)
password and notes can also be copied and pasted where needed, i.e. password manager can be used to store passwords for other applications, websites, etc
password list can be exported
as plain text file, containing unencrypted data, for any use
as encrypted file, for backup
a password list's .bak file can be manually imported back as password manager file, renaming it as pm (no extension) and copying it to PeaZip's configuration path (linked in Options > Settings); this file will have the same content and password it had when it was originally saved. This mechanism in example allows to roll back to a previous password list, or maintain various off line password lists, or exchange protected password lists with other users or other machines
Improved search
It is now possible to set search recursivity from search popup menu
It is now possible to set default for search recursivity
Fixed: create ARC with relative paths fails if path contains space
