PeaZip 8.2.0 File Archiver may keep extracted files when errors are encountered - Ghacks Technology News

PeaZip 8.2.0 is a new version of the cross-platform file archiver. PeaZip is available for Windows and Linux, and it has become my go-to application for archive related tasks after the Bandizip fiasco.

The new version of PeaZip is available as a portable version and as an installer. The program supports a wide range of archive formats that it has full support for, and formats that it can read and extract, but not create.

The installation of PeaZip 8.2.0 on Windows may throw a SmartScreen error; this is not because it is unsafe to use, but a new program with too little data. A quick verification on Virustotal showed no detections by the 67 antivirus engines.

Installation provides a few options, even if PeaZip is already installed. Options include enabling or disabling system integration, including context menu options.

PeaZip is ready for use immediately after installation or upgrade.

The official changelog lists a few changes in the new release. The big change in the new release is that PeaZip may now keep extracted files if it encounters errors during extraction. Users may access the extracted files in this case, even if the extraction process itself is terminated because of encountered errors. The developer notes that working with spanned archives, those spanning over a number of files, was improved in the new PeaZip release as well.

PeaZip's archive manager displays additional information in the interface when you run it (you may also bypass it by extracting directly). New information includes the compression and encryption method, modified, created, and accessed timestamps for each file, and the number of items that are in each folder inside the archive.

PeaZip users who use the file archiver's Smart Extraction feature may select the option now alongside other options on program startup.

The new release improves the program's command line options, and introduces a new folder (/res/batch/) which includes samples and system integration files.

Development was focused on improving the Linux version of PeaZip according to the changelog.

This release focuses on improving user experience on Linux systems, updating installers, improving the automatic configuration of applications for "open with" actions, and displaying more system's paths in the file manager.

Closing Words

PeaZip 8.2.0 improves the file archiver further. It should work better under Linux now, and all users benefit from improvements made to the file listing in the archiver, and the option to keep extracted files if the extraction stops because of errors.

Now You: which file archiver do you use?

ZLUDA v2 Released For Drop-In CUDA On Intel Graphics - Phoronix

Image
One of many interesting and original open-source projects to be started in 2020 was ZLUDA, an open-spurce drop-in CUDA implementation for Intel graphics. ZLUDA - developed independent of Intel and NVIDIA - is built atop Intel's oneAPI Level Zero interface (hence the name, ZLUDA) and allows for unmodified CUDA applications to run on Intel UHD/Xe Graphics hardware with near-native performance. Well, that's the goal at least but with the initial ZLUDA release were a number of support limitations. Out today is ZLUDA Version 2 that has been focused on ensuring it works well with the Geekbench CUDA test cases as an interesting stressor for CUDA on Intel graphics. Additionally, the Microsoft Windows support for ZLUDA has been improved while continuing to provide first-rate Linux support. ZLUDA Version 2 implements more host-side functions, a number of bugs have been fixed, I/O performance improvements, support for creating traces of CUDA kernel executions, and other enhancements for...

Google chrome crashed and now laptop is running very slowly. Malware? - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help - BleepingComputer

Image
Hello, My Huawei laptop is not very old and has been working perfectly until yesterday. Google Chrome crashed and now it takes longer to start up, and neither chrome or Microsoft edge work properly (very slow and keep buffering). My avast anti virus has not found anything when I scanned, but I can't think what else the problem can be. I tried some of the steps in the post about a slow computer not being a malware problem but nothing changed, and since I don't have very much installed on my laptop I don't think it can be a problem with memory. Any help in fixing this would be very much appreciated. I have attached my log here; Rachel Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x64) Version: 15-04-2022 Ran by Rachel (administrator) on LAPTOP-AJP0U36V (HUAWEI BOHB-WAX9) (17-04-2022 16:11:18) Running from C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads Loaded Profiles: Rachel Platform: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 21H2 19044.1645 (X64) Language: ...
