is real hard to make winrar alternative ?
I use Peazip every day. Thanks for letting me know its been updated.
PeaZip is the best archive world can ever expect
How to upgrade from previous version in macOS? Edit: nvm I just need to delete previous version.
I used 7Zip for years but recently moved to using Windows 11’s native 7z support. Any reason I should move back to 3rd party and install Peazip?
Native Windows one still doesn't support password protected 7z archives.
Is there an elevator pitch why PeaZip is better than 7zip?
PeaZip beats 7zip by 3.4s in drag and drop extraction speed.

> 7-Zip, Bandizip and Winrar are tightly packed around very similar performances of 17 seconds, while PeaZip fast drag and drop implementation shows a clear performance advantage in this scenario completing the extraction in 13,6 seconds. WinZip provides an intermediate performance at 15,5 seconds.

Can 7zip finally automatically open the target folder after unzipping to a directory? This feature is strangely absent from a lot of unzipping programs, except PeaZip and WinRAR (from those I tried).
> PeaZip is written in FreePascal compiler, a powerful Open Source cross-platform programming language highly compatible with Delphi and ObjectPascal, and Lazarus ide IDE is required to compile, build, and edit the source code.

Cool. Not many active Pascal projects out there anymore.
