The eventually-ending story

Is qiewer extractor finished (besides bug-fixes)?
I'm mostly out of ideas now, and I think I covered the most important archive types now.

I only got the request for support of password protected archives, but I haven't got a clue how to incorporate that into my framework. It was on my mind from the beginning, but unless I have a sudden inspiration it won't happen soon.

On another note, I wrote an interface for zpaq. But as it's memory and CPU utilization can be very high, I'm not sure if I should integrate it in the next release.

But qiewer extractor 0.8.1 will for sure have the preview handlers enabled. Seems to work fine with text or pdf files.
And that brings me to my last point:
I made a preview handler for images as well, really simple, just to zoom into and move around a bit.
If there is any demand I would name it preqiewer, and release it.

qiewer extractor 0.8.0

  wavpack, deflate64, ppmd, zip-jpeg

• Solid rar archives

qiewer extractor 0.7.6

The new features are:

• New archive format: lzip (.lz)
• Extract with drag&drop
  Drag archives with right-click to the destination folder, then "Extract..." in the context menu.
• Extract from clipboard
  Copy archives to the clipboard, and "Extract..." in the destination folder.

A context menu shell extension makes it now possible that multiple archives are extracted with one process (and not one process per archive like before).

qiewer extractor 0.7.5

Supports most common archive formats:
  zip, rar, 7zip (7z), split files (001), tar, gzip (gz), bzip2 (bz2), lzma, xz

Main feature is of course the browsing of these archives with the Windows Explorer.
From there you can:

• open the file
• "open with", when shift + right-click
• open all, when shift + enter
  this means all files (no sub-folders) of the current folder are extracted, and the selected file opened
• copy to clipboard
• drag&drop out of the archive

The archives can simply be extracted with the new option "Extract..." in the context menu.
And in case the archive is already associated with another program, the option "Explore" will also be added to the context menu.
