Packed File Searcher Changelog

What's new in Packed File Searcher 1.3.0

May 26, 2019
  • added features:
  • added recognition of files by header, so files that have a different extension than their file format usually requires, they will be recognized as valid archives (if supported by 7-Zip)
  • updated file recognition by extension, thereby allowing new formats as RAR5, PPMD, LZMA86 and more to be recognized faster
  • updated integrated 7z.dll to 7-Zip 19.00 (-> Speed optimizations especially for LZMA/LZMA2 decoding)
  • bug fixes:
  • fixed bugs preventing compiling or running under Mono on Unix

New in Packed File Searcher 1.2.0 (Aug 14, 2017)

  • Added features:
  • Added drag and drop possibility to just drop archives or directories in the window
  • Directories in the search results are now marked with a slightly light green background color in that column
  • Changes:
  • Changed temporary path for the archives-in-archive-search (added in previous v1.1) from windows temp path to a temporary folder inside the currently used directory which is deleted on application closing
  • Changed default setting of "use whole path as file name" to disabled as it won't be needed by many people
  • After the search finished, the "results" tab gets displayed automatically
  • Renamed "File name" to "Dir/File name"
  • Bugfixes:
  • Bugfixes regarding different behaviour on extracting zip files and non-zip files
