- Great News for our PentaZip Users! We added CD and DVD
Burning to PentaZip
We have offered CD and DVD burning for a
number of years as an integral part of PentaSuite. The current
version of PentaZip (starting with Build 8.0.1.104) now
offers CD and DVD Burning.
This facility is available for users of
ANY Windows Operating System starting with Windows 98 SE.
Some producers of ZIP software have announced CD and DVD
Burning but only for Windows XP.
As the size of files, computers
and disk drives has grown constantly during the past years,
the need to store large files on removable media has also
grown exponentially. Floppy diskettes simply are no longer
sufficient for this purpose.
PentaZip and PentaSuite offer CD and DVD
Burning from inside the Main Interface.
You can create (i.e. "burn")
output on the following media types:
| Type
of media |
Variants |
Available
with |
| CD
(Compact Disk) |
|
PentaZip
and PentaSuite |
| DVD
("DVD" is an acronym that stands for "Digital
Versatile Disc". It has also been known as "Digital
Video Disc" which, however, is too limiting use-wise
as DVD's can store any kind of data). |

and PentaSuite |
DVD-RAM disks
will be supported in an upcoming release of PentaSuite.
You can burn CD's and/or DVD's
within various PentaSuite programs:
- PentaZip Main Interface
- Right Mouse Menu (the "Shell")
allowing any file or group of files to be copied to a
CD or to a DVD
- PentaView
- our single file viewer (also called PentaView Client)
- PentaBrowser
- PentaCollector
PentaCD/DVD can either insert
the files you have selected in a new compressed archive
(in any of the supported writing formats: ZIP, ZIP64,
ZGB, LHa/LZH, BH, TAR, GZip, TGZ, JAR and CAB)
or copy them to the CD either recreating the directory layout
("Path") or as single files (duplicate file names
will not be copied in this latter case).
PentaCD/DVD is an internal
function of PentaSuite that you can use whenever you need
to place data on a CD or DVD. You can do this directly from
inside PentaZip.
Delete files After
CD/DVD Burning is available with PentaCD (and for PentaSuite
users with PentaDVD too).

PentaZip users with active and current maintenance
agreements are entitled to upgrade to the new version free
of charge.
Users with previous versions of PentaZip
can upgrade to the latest version here.
2 - A new way
to look at our Tutorials
We all know that
reading help file descriptions and software manuals about
various program features isn't the most exciting thing in
the world. That's why we have created a series of "movie-like"
tutorials that will help make learning how to use our programs
more enjoyable and easier to follow.
Now they may not be as exciting
as a Jackie Chan movie but you'll find them much easier
to deal with than reading page after page concerning subjects
like "How to create a Compressed Archive using PentaZip"
or "How to Decrypt a WinZip/PKZip Encrypted ZIP Archive".
The following presentations
will show you how to use various features and perform specific
tasks using our products.
To view any of
the Tutorials below just press the Play Demo
button.
Click here
to go to the Tutorials Page where this information will
be permanently available. When new tutorials are created
they will be added to that page.

- Finally the PentaWare Manager can be minimized to the
System Tray
Double click on the PentaWare Tray Icon
to restore PentaWare Manager. This has been requested by
many users and is particularly useful for users that have
installed one of our products on a Laptop and have problems
fitting many programs on a relatively small screen.
To activate this just right click on the
surface of the PentaWare Manager and click on "Minimize
to Tray". This icon  will
become visible when the Minimize to Tray feature has been
enabled. To restore the PentaWare Manager just double click
on the
icon.
To disable this feature right click on the
surface of the PentaWare Manager and click on "Minimize
to Tray" again.

- Think you have duplicate images on your computer but don't
have the time to sift through hundred, possibly thousands
of images?
We added to PentaEXIF the ability
to search for groups of images that were taken within a
range of dates and times.
This is very useful to identify
duplicate images due to copying files to different locations
or to renaming copies of original images
This is in addition to the
search by image date and time which has been available for
some time.
