Mirror: GitHub - zertovitch/azip: AZip: a free, portable Zip Archive Manager
Alire crate: Alire - Azip
Some features:
- Aimed at simplicity, minimal option set
- Usual archive management: Add / Remove / Extract files
- Original, useful built-in tools:
- Text & name search function through an archive (no file is written during search)
- Archive updater
- Archive recompression, using an algorithm-picking approach for improving a Zip archive’s compression.
- Flat view / Tree view toggle
- Multi-document
- Encryption
- Zip compression formats supported: Reduce, Shrink, Implode, Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA
- Portable (no installation needed, no DLL); can operate with a config file instead of the registry (stealth mode)
- Installable if desired (application is its own installer)
- Free, open-source
Summary of latest changes from 2.6 to 2.7:
- Tabs: each archive subwindow has an own tab on a tab bar (new). This makes the handling of AZip easier to understand.
- Temporary directory: you can optionally set a specific temporary directory - typically, in a RAM disk - for AZip’s operations such as archive recompression. Your HD or SSD will thank you.
- Single instance: when Zip archives are opened and AZip is already running, those archives are opened in that running instance - thanks to Nicolas Pinault (@DrPi) for that feature!
- Fix: sorting column and direction are preserved on operations that modify a Zip archive (delete, add, update, recompress, etc.).

Enjoy!
