Genuine question: why would I use this over 7zip?
doesnt windows now have all the similar tools default?
The feature built into windows (even after recent update) is a lot slower
PeaZip: Open-source file compression and encryption software

#92Earlier quoted context omitted.
PeaZip appears to rely on 7zip for most of its supported formats. So Peazip isn't really an alternative if you want to avoid 7zip out of security concerns. > 7z ... should be placed in (peazip)/res/bin/7z, to manage 7Z files and most of the other supported formats https://peazip.github.io/peazip-sources.html I personally like libarchive and its bsdtar CLI, which also supports a wide range of formats. I don't know if…
The native archive support that was recently added to Windows itself is backed by libarchive.
Doesn't streaming architecture of libarchive make it a poor choice for working with random access archives?

#93Can it do lrzip? Did a quickish search https://github.com/nakijun/peazip/issues/149
I've found zstd --long=31 to be an excellent replacement for lrzip. Mentioned it in the github issue as well, cross posting for context. I'm not associated with either zstd or lrzip, but would still be curious to hear if you find any remaining usecases in favor of lrzip.

#94Nitpicks: 1. Command to unquarantine in docs is wrong. It should be `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/peazip.app` not `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/peazip.app` 2. Not available via homebrew 3. Can't open issues, neither on Github nor sourceforge
You do can open issues (well, they are called tickets) on SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/p/peazip/tickets/
