PeaZip is a cross-platform, desktop neutral file archiver utility that provides an unified portable GUI (Qt and GTK2) for many Open Source technologies like 7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX...
Create 7Z, ARC, Brotli, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, XZ, ZIP, Zstandard files
Extract over 180 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF, ZIPX and many more...
Features of PeaZip includes extract, create and convert multiple archives at once, create self-extracting archives, split/join files, strong encryption with two factor authentication, encrypted password manager, secure deletion, find duplicate files, calculate hashes, export job definition as scripts.
Installation and integration in *x systems:
In order to reduce dependencies installable PeaZip packages for Linux needs to satisfy, since release 5.9.0 all backend except for p7zip were moved to "Optional Formats" plugin, which can be installed separately if needed extracting the package in peazip/res directory.
The plugin is not needed by Portable versions of the software.
If experiencing problems running PeaZip compiled for Qt, start it as:
peazip -style=cleanlooks
If experiencing problems with PeaZip compiled for Qt widgetset, it is available PeaZip compiled for GTK2 libraries as alternative, or it is possible to compile the application for its own Qt version using Lazarus/FreePascal IDE, which supports compiling the sources for various widgetsets: Win32, WinCE, fpGUI, Carbon, Qt, GTK1, GTK2.
On Linux systems, PeaZip installer automatically create menu entries for KDE (on most versions); to add PeaZip to Gnome menu copy the "Archiving" folder placed in PeaZip/Freedesktop_integration/nautilus-scripts to system's Nautilus script's folder (in most versions open "Scripts" menu in system's context menu, and select "Open script's folder").
Qt widgetset packages requires Qt 4.5 or more recent, and needs libQt4Pas.so installed in /usr/local/lib or equivalent directory (copy the file and run ldconfig; it is done automatically in installable packages), such as /usr/lib or /usr/lib32 on some 64 bit distributions.
A copy of libQt4Pas.so is available in PeaZip's directory, ./usr/local/share/PeaZip/ for the installable packages.
If the Qt version does not start on some systems, as some system's visual styles may cause recursive repainting error, you can fix the problem starting it in a console (or script) as: peazip -style=cleanlooks
On 64 bit systems, backend binaries in PeaZip/res path can be freely replaced by users with respective 64 bit counterpart (if available).
PeaZip Portable is standalone software and doesn't need installation and can be used from removable or remote paths without changing the host system (useful is system needs to stay library-freezed).
'Freedesktop_integration' folder in PeaZip's path contains .desktop files and Nautilus scripts to help users to configure tighter integration of PeaZip with desktop environment's menus.

PeaZip is also free of charge, please avoid (and report) any scam website trying to sell PeaZip for money, as no permission was ever given to distribute this program or its sources after payment.

the workarrounds via google won't work for me either.
kinda sad as i would have loved to try it out, need an archiver which supports drag+drop of multiple folders/files from the opened zip file to a folder. ark does not support this and it's annoying.

tool seems very promissing but I only found 32 bits RPM for QT. Since I have a x86_64 installer asks to install a bunch of 32 bits packages and I don't want to do that.
Where can I find QT variant RPM for 64 bits platforms ?
Thanks.

Right now using the GTK version under Ubuntu 11.10 (KDE4 env), but I have been experiencing this issue for some months (sorry for not notifying earlier).
Can you look into this issue?

The kservicemenus aren't working in kde 3.5.10. PeaZip comes up and then closes. I can launch the binary directly.
Its likely too dependant on the newest version of qt4? I'm running qt4.4.1. I can't upgrade without breaking tons of working apps.
Is there something I can do?
Thanks in advance.
PS:
The MS version is working perfectly, I can now even create .exe files without crashing the worst setups.

In case of problems with the Qt version it should run with -style=cleanlooks, otherwise you could try to run the GTK2 version.
