PeaZip 10.8 has been released today for this open-source, cross-platform, and free file archiver utility based on 7-Zip / p7zip archiver, Zstandard, FreeArc, and other open-source file compression tools.

Coming one and a half months after PeaZip 10.7, the PeaZip 10.8 release overhauls the previewing of items inside archives by adding the ability to launch the built-in image viewer within archive types supported through the ARC, BCM, Brotli, and Zstandard backends. Previously, this only worked for 7z/p7zip archives.

Moreover, the users can now access the Context menu > Preview and Context menu > File tools submenus within the aforementioned archive types. Also, the image viewer’s window will now automatically snap to the on-screen image size when leaving full-screen mode.
