Smart Extract Archiver

An independent open-source Linux alternative to Bandizip for Smart Extract
workflows, fast inline archive preview, and batch conversion. Not affiliated
with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Bandisoft.

FEATURES
• Archive Preview & Smart Extract: inspect .zip, .7z, .rar, .tar, .tar.gz,
.tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .tar.zst, and .zst archives with automatic destination
analysis — extracts single-folder archives directly to avoid double nesting,
and proposes a clean <archivestem>/ subfolder when multiple loose root
files are detected.
• Inline File Peek (No Full Extraction): click any text, code, PDF, DOCX,
XLSX, ODT/ODS, EML, JPEG/PNG/WebP image, or binary entry to preview
rendered text, image dimensions/EXIF, or hex dump immediately.
• Local Password Vault & Batch Converter: store unlock passphrases safely
in your local config directory to auto-try encrypted archives, test batch
integrity, and convert .zip/.tar.gz/.rar/.7z into .7z, .tar.zst, or .zip.
• Clean Batch Compress & Image Strip: pack folders while excluding junk
(.DSStore, Thumbs.db, .git, _pycache_) and inspect an image thumbnail
strip directly from inside any archive.
• Bilingual EN/VI Interface: defaults to English with instant Vietnamese
UI toggle.
