New Update PeaZip file archiver

[silversurfer]

PeaZip 9.8.0 release brings new Themes, improved flat mode (display all archive content at once), and the ability to directly extract all or selected items to any path in bookmarks, history or breadcrumb without further confirmation.

Direct extraction is implemented in app's context menu in "Extract to" submenu, and it is also available as command line switches for scripts and for system integration (context menus, SendTo items, .desktop files, Automator scripts). Sources are compiled with new Lazarus 3.2, and are still compatible with Lazarus 2.x line.

Does anyone know what does the first 2 option do and should I enable/on it?

Under option > set advanced extraction option:
- Include NT Security Information (WIM)
- Include NTFS Alternate Data Stream (WIM)
- Propagate Zone.Identifier Stream (Windows) (enble/on by default)

There can be a problem with 7-Zip, NanaZip, and some other archiver applications. They are currently propagating MotW to unpacked files by default, but some older versions did not. When installing newer versions the older setting is kept and unpacked files can lose MotW. So, one has to check what is the actual setting.

Under option > set advanced extraction option:
- Include NT Security Information (WIM)
- Include NTFS Alternate Data Stream (WIM)
- Propagate Zone.Identifier Stream (Windows) (enble/on by default)

- Include NT Security Information (WIM) = propagate the NT Security Information of the archive or disk image file to unpacked files.
- Include NTFS Alternate Data Stream (WIM) = propagate the NTFS Alternate Data Stream of the archive or disk image file to unpacked files.
- Propagate Zone.Identifier Stream (Windows) = propagate MotW of the WIM of the archive or disk image file to unpacked files.

WIM archive (disk image file: ISO, VHD, etc.):

I will take note. Thank you for your advise.
