open the path in system's file explorer, open command prompt
here, etc
* EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
- Interactive extraction option (checked by default on Windows)
enables two-step extraction for all archive types supported
through 7z/p7zip: content is extracted to a fresh folder and
then moved to actual output destination with standard
system's calls.
- When interactive extraction is used, all unneeded levels of
directory nesting are removed, and conflicts with existing
files are prompted interactively to user.
- Unchecking the option, it is possible to perform
single-step extraction as in previous versions, with policy
based directives to resolve naming conflicts without
needing user interaction (recommended when creating
scripts).

* FILE MANAGER
- Added shortcut Ctrl+W to close window, consistently with
conventional use in WinRar and Windows file explorer
- Improved control over temporary work directory, used when the
archive is created or edited, during drag and drop extraction
(Windows), and content preview
- Output: faster as no copy to destination is needed, more
secure as no content is unpacked/decrypted outside of the
intended destination path
- Output, preview in user's temp
- User's temp (as conventionally used by most applications):
in case of failure for any reason, user's temp folder is
the single place to look for orphaned data and can be
safely cleaned
- None, user's temp if needed: allows exceptions to perform
drag and drop extraction and preview using user's temp
- None: no exceptions allowed, no temporary work data is saved,
this does not allow to perform neither drag and drop
extraction nor preview, as archive content can't be
transparently unpacked and passed to system's drag & drop
handler, nor to the associated application

entered by user (the host machine needs to support the
code page to run the tasks, otherwise tasks can be saved
as scripts and run on different machines)
- Text encoding entry is now accessible also from application's
file browser context menu, and in Archiving and Extraction
screens context menus
- Within PeaZip file manager it is now possible to use

.html, .bat, and .exe files
- From Options > Settings > Archive manager, Extract group is
possible to customize "Extract everything for..." behavior

operations, by default target window is hidden and locked
while the operation is running
- Out of the box default compression levels are set to fast for
ZIP and 7Z formats

- Split sfx archives will result in a small extraction executable,
and n volumes of desired size.
- Spanning sfx archive allows to prevent the resulting archive
being larger of the maximum executable size allowed for the
target OS.
- To extract a split sfx archive, place extraction executable
and all volumes in the same directory.
+ Extraction executable will start pre-set extraction
procedure without need of external software.
+ Alternatively, volume with .001 extension can be opened
with an external archiver to browse/extract the entire
archive.

- update to version 5.6.1
* Added read only support (list, test, extract) to RAR5 format
through RarLab's unrar.
Currently the plugin is available only for Windows or Wine/ReactOS,
Linux version will be analyzed and tested for future updates.
* Due the non-OSI compatible unrar restriction (even if the software
provides sources and is royalty-free) the software is available as
separate plugin on Add-Ons page.
* Due the different syntax between RarLab's unrar and 7z/p7zip's unrar,
following differences apply when handling RAR5 format:
- Recursivity with advanced filters is always enabled.
- Renaming options always rename the file being extracted.
* Added LIBRE_DIRECTIVE option to disallow any call to software
which is non-free under OSI definition:
- If set to 0 (permissive) PeaZip will use all available backend,
both free-as-in-freedom and royalty-free.
- If set to 1 (flexible) PeaZip will disallow any call to
royalty-free but non free-as-in-freedom backend,
currently: unace and unrar binaries.
- If set to 2 (strict) PeaZip will disallow calls even in case
of dubious status, currently apply to unrar functions in
7z/p7zip due to non-reversibility clause.
* Various minor fixes.
