PeaZip 6.6.1

# FILE MANAGER
* (Windows) File manager shows image thumbnails and information about graphic files, only while browsing/searching the filesystem
- thumbnails does not get stored
- thumbnails calculation generates a set of 4 dedicated threads, if folder or search filter is changed a new set of threads is created and old threads are stopped as soon as possible (file level and thread level granularity: each thread can be stopped separately, at the completition of each image)
- Organize > Show picture thumbnails in main menu toggle the feature on/off
* No file is selected when an archive is opened (generally, anytime listing root level of the archive), so by default extract button performs "extract all"
* F2 remapped to rename file(s) as in Windows' file explorer
- Unchanged: Ctrl+F2 browse desktop, Shift+F2 browse computer root, Ctrl+Shift+F2 browse archive's root
# EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
* PeaLauncher improved as standalone application, at startup accepts drag and drop of a single archive to be extracted (or alternatively it can start file selection dialog)
* Elapsed time string shows minutes and seconds if the job takes more than one minute

# BACKEND
- Fewer FreeArc's SFX modules are now embedded by default: arc-tiny.linux.sfx, freearc.sfx, freearc-installer.sfx, freearc-tiny.sfx. If needed, other self extracting modules can still be downloaded from FreeArc's official website for free.
- Main executables are no longer compressed with UPX, resulting in a bit larger disk occupation (about 7MB) but smaller installer (about 1.5 MB) and less RAM usage (each instance does no longer need to be uncompressed in memory to run)
- If it is critical to reduce disk occupation, executables can be compressed with UPX through PeaZip itself

# FILE MANAGER
- Added history popup menu rightclicking on refresh button in address bar
- Added search history popup menu rightclicking on search button in address bar
- Changed low contrast text color to avoid it being the same color of default form color in Classic Windows theme for Vista/7
- Minor fixes

# EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
- Fixed speed calculation for jobs lasting past midnight

# WINDOWS INSTALLER
- 64 bit version has now WIN64 in application name
- New icons for most common archive formats 7Z, RAR and ZIP/ZIPX

# FILE MANAGER

- Convert: as add, but the favorite format menu starts archive conversion
- Extract: shows menu to extract all and (when browsing archives) displayed or selected content
- Extract all to: shows quick extraction menu

* Reorganized keyboard shortcuts
- Organize shortcuts, related the way file/archive browser displays content, are associated to Alt combinations
> Alt+0 swap tool bar (priority to functions) and address bar (priority to navigation)
> Alt+1 hide/show menu bar
> Alt+2 toggle toolbar mode
> Alt+3 hide/show address bar
> Alt+4 toggle navigation bar

- Quick options (Shift+Ctrl combinations): added Shift+Ctrl+O to toggle "open output path when job completes"
- Common operations are associated to Ctrl combinations (unchanged)
- F3 start search while in PeaZip's file browser, and system's search while in other modes (in order to search and drag files/folder to PeaZip)
> Alt+F3 always start system's search
* Reorganized browser's context menu and other GUI elements
- explore path made more prominent, featured in main context menu (and in navigation popup menu)
- select all made more prominent featured in main context menu grouped with Sort by submenu
- displayed sort column in status bar, especially useful when browser is not in Details mode
* Themes
- added 48 px icons, used in "icons" mode (any browser's size)
- added themes with embedded graphic: Seven-embedded (now default theme for all systems) and Nographic-embedded
- Seven and Firecrystal themes are distributed as compressed packages, this allows faster installation deploying less files
* Size submenu in Organize, for selecting size of browser's icons
- small (default) small icons 16 px (in details and list mode) / large icons 64 px (in icons mode)

# ARCHIVING
* When creating archives containing multiple files or folders, the archive is named as the parent folder of the items, except if "add to separate archives" option is flagged.

# 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

- Better protection against unwanted multiple click on Ok for archiving and extraction operations

# WINDOWS INSTALLER

# Translations updated

# BACKEND
* Updated to Pea 0.34

# CODE
* Updated Wolfgang Ehrhardt's crypto lybrary with crc_hash_2010-12-19

# FILE MANAGER
* Fixed: installable version unable to update archives on Windows 64 bit
- default 7z working dir (-w parameter) changed to explicitly set to use output path
- if 7z working dir is set to temporary folder, let 7z determinate the appropriate path
- when deleting files from a file supported through 7z backend, apply 7z working dir preference
* Fixed button position and size with large fonts / high dpi
- StringGrid's rows are now auto sized Modal buttons text is now translated
* Open output path moved from Options to Add and Extract interfaces for better visibility
* On archive creation, if password is set and the format supports encryption, the encryption label is evidenced in green for better visibility
* New option for ignoring paths for drag and drop extraction (default on)
- with ignore path directive applied, extraction through 7z and freearc backends will be performed using e (extract without paths) instead of x (extract with paths), in order to extract files from the archive without recreating the parent path's directory tree on the extraction destination
- with this new directive applied by default, all partial extraction operations starting from the file/archive browser (extract and open, and extraction by drag and drop), behaves uniformly trying to extract selected file(s) without recreating parent path tree
- the directive is overridden if a directory is selected, as extraction without paths will lose information about directory tree below that directory
- see Options > Settings, Open archive tab for fine tuning "ignore paths" directives

# 129 file extensions supported
* Added support for .APK (Android package) and .SAR, and .IMF (IncrediMail)

# BACKEND

- reorganized info mode for status bar (Ctrl+Alt+2)
- themes modified in order to be released as autonomous packages
* default and no graphic themes are in application's path, custom themes are in configuration path (application's path for portable versions, in user's home/application data for installable versions)
> themes are distributed as compressed packages (supported: 7z, zip and rar)
> custom theme packages can be created by PeaZip
* for further customization: theme file can be edited as plain utf8-text, program's graphic can be edited as bitmap files, theme package is built compressing the theme directory in 7z, zip or rar format using any compression utility
