Softpedia Editor's Review for Filzip
|
The ultimate archiver that handles about 15 archive formats
Written by Elena Opris on March 19th, 2012
Filzip is an application that you can use to compress files and extract content from archives with various formats, including RAR, ZIP, ACE and ARJ.
The interface of the program is clean and intuitive. If you want to create a new archive, first you have to specify the output destination, name and format.
You can use the treeview to find and add files after checking out their size, type, attribute and date of modification, as well as create an exclusion list.
Furthermore, you can configure archive options by specifying the action (add, move or update files) and level of compression (maximum, normal, light, none).
Moreover, you can add hidden files, include empty subdirectories, save the full path information, add in the 8.3 format, separate directory entries, set a password, enable multiple disk spanning (e.g. automatic, user defined), and more.
Additionally, you can copy, move, rename or delete an archive, view its properties, create a shortcut, use a search function for files within archives, insert comments, create an executable file and enable Explorer style.
Plus, you can convert, encrypt and decrypt archives, repair ZIP files, read and write a ZIP span, use a multi-extraction tool, configure program settings (e.g. active shell extensions, disable auto update, change the viewing mode, set default directories), and more.
Filzip runs on low system resources, includes a well-drawn help file with a tutorial and finishes a compression task in a short amount of time. However, you cannot view elapsed or remaining time, and there are no snapshots included in the user documentation.
All in all, Filzip is a very good compression tool and we strongly recommend it to all users.
