Whats new:

• File Manager – (recommended) Improved recognition of malformed archives not explicitly listing folders’ entries, now PeaZip is able to auto-switch to Flat view in order to show the full content of those archives in all tested cases. Pre-set chunk sizes for DVD and DVD-DL decreased by 1MB in order to work without problems with most burning applications. Better protection against unwanted multiple click on Ok for archiving and extraction operations
• Windows Installer – Improved displaying information about the software to the end user
• Windows Portable – (recommended) Packages now contain a default configuration file to allow application to run from first time in a read only path (not writable or protected by UAC) as standard user; a writable path is still recommended
