And, if you try to check Original folder as the destination, Peazip insists on ALSO checking (in grey, so you cannot uncheck it) the box that causes EACH target file to create a separate zip file, instead of a combined, single file. If you want a free application to compress and decompress all kinds of files and that isn't very difficult to use, you should try out PeaZip.Pros: Works well EXCEPT for the ONE very serious con that prevents me from using it, since it the one function I use the most:Ĭons: Peazip 8.7.0 (Windows 11) will NOT create a new zip file IN THE SAME FOLDER where the target files live.īottom Line: Peazip offers to let you set a default destination (the documentation SAYS the default destination is the same folder), but will only allow you to TYPE IN a FULL path - it does NOT offer an option for the default path to be in the Original, or same, folder (even when you are using the context menu in that folder). Compatible with more than 90 different formats among which we can name: 7Z, 7-Zip SFX, ARJ, BZip2, ISO, JAR, CPIO, DEB, PAQ, PEA, RAR, TAR, Z and ZIP.
