FILE MANAGER

• (Linux, macOS) Improved detection and usage of ClamAV
• (macOS) Improved Dynamic virtual mode
• (macOS) Added Quick Look to "Open with" menu
• Can now preview items in Zpaq archives, if "extract to absolute paths" and "extract all revisions" options are unchecked (as by default)
• Improved browsing some types of archives (e.g. .pkg)
• Improved image viewer functions
  • Can now display image thumbnails in the file manager on all platforms (previously supported only on Windows)
    • Thumbnails are displayed when navigating the filesystem, not inside archives (no content is ever automatically decompressed, use safer preview function instead), are always generated on the fly (no thumbnail is ever saved/cached by the application to enhance privacy), and are disabled when file manager is in virtual mode
    • Thumbnails are displayed automatically when icon size is 48px or larger, can be set on/off manually from main menu > Organize > Show picture thumbnails option
  • Added entry to view thumbnails on request, from context menu > File manager, or Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut (applies same notes as for automatic thumbnails)
  • Added new image viewer component to view images on request, from context menu, File manager > View images, or Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut
    • Can zoom in (+ or up arrow) and out (- or down arrow) from 5% to 1000%, fit to screen (0), screen height (Shift+0), screen width (Ctrl+0), jump to 100% to 500% (1..5) and down to 20% (Ctrl+2..Ctrl+5)
    • Can toggle immersive mode on/off (double click or enter) if supported by the platform, Esc exits immersive mode or exits the image viewer if not in immersive mode
    • Can view previous (back arrow or left active border) and next image (forward arrow or space or right active border) the in same directory or search filter, or jump to first (Home) or last (End)
    • Can rename and delete images from disk with all supported deletion routines (move to Trash, quick delete, zero delete, secure delete)
    • Can view images when the file manager is in virtual mode, and can preview images inside archives (in this case one preview at time)
    • The component is meant primarily as a viewer, most of the file management functions (as copy and move, find duplicates, modify the image) are featured in the file browser and are not duplicated in the viewer
• Improved preview of archived files, added option to explore the path of preview with system browser
• Improved Functions menu, a more comprehensive selection of core app's functions are now available in the menu, listed alphabetically in order to be easily discovered by users
• Improved context menu, File tools > Text preview: can now search, count lines / words / chars, change text encoding (ANSI, ASCII, Unicode, UTF-8), and word wrap
• Updated Line custom Theme

EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING

• Fixed progress window, now reporting correct compression levels for Brotli and Zpaq
• Improved handling output if extraction ends in error or is cancelled by the user
  • Added option to keep files if extraction is not successful for Zstd backend (in Advanced tab of extraction screen)
