posted by Marius Nestor on Feb 22, 2025,
updated Feb 23, 2025

Coming almost two months after PeaZip 10.2, the PeaZip 10.3 release automates context menu integration in the service menus of the KDE Plasma desktop environment and the scripts subfolders of the Nautilus file manager of the GNOME desktop environment. It also modernizes the Qt 6 binary packages and adds a new Tux-Alt theme for Linux systems.

PeaZip 10.3 also improves support for TAR archives by adding the ability to limit the max size to either 100 MB, 1 GB, 10 GB, or Always to avoid automatic time-consuming operation, support saving the list of files and search results as CSV (with , and ; separator), TSV, or TXT, and update the “Analyze content of folders” function.

PeaZip, the versatile file archiver utility, has just unveiled its latest release—version 10.3, introducing many improvements such as updated theming options, better error handling for archives, and expanded file compatibility.

This update addresses automated browsing of compressed TAR archives by allowing users to set a maximum size threshold—ranging from 100 MB to “Always”—which helps avoid time-consuming operations on especially large files.

Moreover, PeaZip now better handles archives with errors or extra data, providing increased flexibility for users who frequently encounter complicated or corrupted archive files.
