   Would you please just take time to read the documentation before spending 10x the time to write absurdities on the web?
   you can add multiple files and dirs to a single archive from the application itself: open peazip and just add files to the archive... or just drag them to the application (this way you are not limited to add only from the folder you are browsing as in 7zip, winrar, winzip and the others)... or you can just use the SendTo menu entry (just one click away) "Add to archive" rather than the context menu entry "Add to SEPARATE archives" (did you get the SEPATATE part?).
   Why not from context menu (this is in documentation too)? Because Windwos API sucks and you can't pass multiple itmes through a context menu entry, unless you write specific code to query the system for selected items... defeating the purpose of writing a multiplatform application and bounding developers to work for Windows word... nice move Microsoft, I guess there are just people deserving the Monopoly.

   Changed my mind. As long as you do not select more than one file or archive to manipulate, it works just fine. Selecting 2 or more files creates multiple instances of peazip and if you select say 150 archives, which you want to extract you will probably face some sort of peazip error as it literally opens 150 instances of itself. Had to go back to winrar which can handle a 1000 files or folders at once, without hiccuping itself or your pc, and has that nice touch where it will delete the original when it's done, & all that done in the background thank you. Now I have to find a secure delete prog to replace peazip's. Oh Well

   It doesn't matter what i do. I just simply can.not.like.this.app.
   Why are there menu items to the control panel? where are some buttons in the bottom right hand corner? Why can't i get rid of the text under buttons? Where's the folder tree? Why the hell does the portable version take about 10 seconds to start up? Why would i want to switch from archive view to folder view when the app should know when i'm looking at a directory and when i'm looking at an archive? The GUI is simply horrifying.

   It is a good update, the new interface is more powerful for handling bookmarls (very useful) an history.
