Veranderingen voor v3.5.1 - v3.6

BACKEND
Updated to Pea 0.34
CODE
Updated Wolfgang Ehrhardt's crypto lybrary with crc_hash_2010-12-19
FILE MANAGER
Fixed: installable version unable to update archives on Windows 64 bit
default 7z working dir (-w parameter) changed to explicitly set to use output path
if 7z working dir is set to temporary folder, let 7z determinate the appropriate path
when deleting files from a file supported through 7z backend, apply 7z working dir preference
Fixed button position and size with large fonts / high dpi
StringGrid's rows are now auto sized
Modal buttons text is now translated
Open output path moved from Options to Add and Extract interfaces for better visibility
On archive creation, if password is set and the format supports encryption, the encryption label is evidenced in green for better visibility
New option for ignoring paths for drag and drop extraction (default on)
with ignore path directive applied, extraction through 7z and freearc backends will be performed using e (extract without paths) instead of x (extract with paths), in order to extract files from the archive without recreating the parent path's directory tree on the extraction destination
with this new directive applied by default, all partial extraction operations starting from the file/archive browser (extract and open, and extraction by drag and drop), behaves uniformly trying to extract selected file(s) without recreating parent path tree
the directive is overridden if a directory is selected, as extraction without paths will lose information about directory tree below that directory
see Options > Settings, Open archive tab for fine tuning "ignore paths" directives
129 file extensions supported
Added support for .APK (Android package) and .SAR, and .IMF (IncrediMail)

reorganized info mode for status bar (Ctrl+Alt+2)

From Windows 7 the application is integrated in system's context menu in a cascaded submenu featuring icons.
Under the hood, the Windows installer was renewed and backend applications were updated: 7z 9.10, FreeArc 0.60, UPX 3.04.
A total of 118 file extensions are supported.

Veranderingen voor v2.8 - v2.8.1

2.8.x line is focused on providing a more user-friendly archive/file browser: easier file selection, history submenu, custom icons for most commons file types, detailed view or list view, remember sorting column and sorting order, remember columns widths etc...
Multiple jobs launched at once (form program's GUI) are now executed sequentially to improve disk performances, parallel execution is available as option.
Extract button, within an archive, extracts selected object; if nothing is selected extracts all displayed objects (like WinRar/7-Zip); however in application's context menu it is possible to directly select to extract all, displayed or selected objects.
In archiving interface it was added "Convert existing archives" option, to extract existing archives before compression stage.
This option, used with "Add each object to a separate archive" option enabled, performs a mass conversion of listed archives to the desired format; otherwise, with the option disabled, archive conversion is meant to consolidate input data in a single archive, improving compression efficency because it allows recompression of the original data from its uncompressed form.

Navigation menus in browser and archiving/extraction intrfaces now shows History submenu, to quickly jump to paths visited in the current session.
In archive and extraction interfaces it is possible to set a default extraction path.
Extract to new folder is now remembered as option of Extract action, rather than being a separate action.
Extract button, within an archive, extracts selected object; if nothing is selected extracts all displayed objects (like WinRar/7-Zip). However in context menu it is possible to directly select to extract all, displayed or selected objects.
In archiving interface it was added "Convert existing archives" option, to extract existing archives before compression stage.
This option, used with "Add each object to a separate archive" option enabled, performs a mass conversion of listed archives to the desired format.
