PeaZip is a cross-platform, desktop neutral file archiver utility that provides an unified portable GUI (Qt and GTK2) for many Open Source technologies like 7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX...
Create 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, XZ, ZIP files
Extract over 150 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF, ZIPX and many more...
Features of PeaZip includes extract, create and convert multiple archives at once, create self-extracting archives, split/join files, strong encryption with two factor authentication, encrypted password manager, secure deletion, find duplicate files, calculate hashes, export job definition as scripts.
Installation and integration in *x systems:
In order to reduce dependencies installable PeaZip packages for Linux needs to satisfy, since release 5.9.0 all backend except for p7zip were moved to "Optional Formats" plugin, which can be installed separately if needed extracting the package in peazip/res directory.
The plugin is not needed by Portable versions of the software.
If experiencing problems running PeaZip compiled for Qt, start it as:
peazip -style=cleanlooks
If experiencing problems with PeaZip compiled for Qt widgetset, it is available PeaZip compiled for GTK2 libraries as alternative, or it is possible to compile the application for its own Qt version using Lazarus/FreePascal IDE, which supports compiling the sources for various widgetsets: Win32, WinCE, fpGUI, Carbon, Qt, GTK1, GTK2.
On Linux systems, PeaZip installer automatically create menu entries for KDE (on most versions); to add PeaZip to Gnome menu copy the "Archiving" folder placed in PeaZip/Freedesktop_integration/nautilus-scripts to system's Nautilus script's folder (in most versions open "Scripts" menu in system's context menu, and select "Open script's folder").
Qt widgetset packages requires Qt 4.5 or more recent, and needs libQt4Pas.so installed in /usr/local/lib or equivalent directory (copy the file and run ldconfig; it is done automatically in installable packages), such as /usr/lib or /usr/lib32 on some 64 bit distributions.
A copy of libQt4Pas.so is available in PeaZip's directory, ./usr/local/share/PeaZip/ for the installable packages.
If the Qt version does not start on some systems, as some system's visual styles may cause recursive repainting error, you can fix the problem starting it in a console (or script) as: peazip -style=cleanlooks
On 64 bit systems, backend binaries in PeaZip/res path can be freely replaced by users with respective 64 bit counterpart (if available).
PeaZip Portable is standalone software and doesn't need installation and can be used from removable or remote paths without changing the host system (useful is system needs to stay library-freezed).
'Freedesktop_integration' folder in PeaZip's path contains .desktop files and Nautilus scripts to help users to configure tighter integration of PeaZip with desktop environment's menus.

It is not a Nautilus script but a link to a proprietary application.

You have to pay for newer versions. It is not a Nautilus script or pack.

I'm getting that odd problem again when using the kservicemenus..
"PeaZip cannot find the configuration files (probably because deleted or moved) and should be reinstalled"
Peazip itself launches when I click on the binary. Same setup as the previous version.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does filenames of objects giving this error contains spaces or extended characters?
Does this behaviour happens on KDE, Gnome or other desktop managers (I ask because the procedure for handling filenames is desktop specific), and if you have more desktop managers, does this happens on all of them?
Thank you again for your feedback, feel free to report here or on application's forum (or tracker) on SourceForge.

"Does filenames of objects giving this error contains spaces or extended characters?"
no, I was testing with names: test1.jpg, test2.doc, test3.pdf, zipped to: /home/user/test1.zip, /home/user/test2.zip, /home/user/test3.zip
"Does this behaviour happens on KDE...":
I am using KDE 3.5.9 with OpenBox 3.4.6,
Does Peazip require other software for preview? I ask because I installed KDE from command line and maybe I am missing something.

No, preview (or doubleclick) does:
extract to temporary a folder (created in the output path, so with same access policies intended for the real output);
make a standard call to KDE to run the file with associated application.
Does "extract and open with..." entries work on your system? It changes the first step only, extracting to output dir rather than to a temporary dir.

I hope I understood what I should do :), I did following steps:
1. Created zipped file (1287.zip) with one file (1287.doc) on Desktop (/home/user/Desktop).
2. Created temp folder on Desktop.
3. Opened 1287.zip with Peazip.
4. In Peazip I choose "Extract to..." -> "Extract all to..." (/home/user/Desktop/temp) - working good
5. "Extract and open with..." -> "associated application" -> (Overwrite YES) -> ERROR
But, when I open a zip file contains another zip file - everythink works good, Peazip open another peazip window. I think that peazip has problem with determine associated application or path to associated application bin file, because when I double click on file /home/user/Desktop/1287.doc it is opened with OpenOffice.

"Executable not found: " ".
Press ok to ignore and risk data corruption
Press cancel to kill the program.
So what am I missing?
Thanks
PS, I like all the improvements in general. The interface customization options are great.

Could you please submit detailed feedback to application's tracker on SourceForge: PeaZip package(s) tested, distribution used, 32 or 64 bit system, Gnome or KDE installed, when did the error appeared, if previus version runs fine on the same machine(s) and any other information you find useful to understand and replicate the error...
Thanks!

I'm still hoping you will try to port natively to KDE. This would make it faster as well as far more intergrated.
No pressure, just food for thought.

It is possible to have peazip ID the item/directory etc being compressed? I often compress more than one thing at at time (I have a Quad Core hehehehe).
Thanks for the app!

My dream is that at a certain point all widgestets targeted by Lazarus (a quite impressive list) will have a version of PeaZip compiled for, and certainly Qt is the first on the list.
