CODE
Various memory management, speed, responsivity and stability optimizations
For archive browsing, fast mode (equivalent to previous versions default mode): Up to -15% memory usage browsing archives containing large number of files Up to +35% speed browsing and testing for encryption archives containing large number of files
FILE MANAGER
Added mass rename option to prepend progressive number to filenames Action is available in Context menu, File manager > Rename > 1, 2, 3... Items will be numbered following the current sorting order, e.g. name, time/date, size, extension...
Added support for navigation with mouse buttons Button3 go up Button4 go forward Button5 go back
New archive browsing optimization option available in Options > Settings > General, Performance group
Normal, no optimization
Fast (default, works as "fast open routine" option in previos versions), stop pre-browsing archives containing very large number of files to preserve performance
Fastest, do not pre-browse archives for very fast opening, as downside this mode does not show archive information, and may non correctly list some out of standard archives
Row select option for file / archive browser is now duplicated in context menu > Navigation for better discoverability
Updated translations
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
Fixed: archives are tested for encryption before extraction from SendTo menu entries and from command line
Improved detection of multipart archives for automatic deletion after extraction option Alongside .001 spanning (as in 7-Zip and PeaZip) are now recognized .z01, .zx01, .rar01, .part1.rar spanning conventions followed by WinZip and WinRar
