PeaZip v. 1.9.3 shows password, can I fix this?


By way of attempting to avoid joining too many forums, I'm asking here whether anyone found a workaround for either the Linux or the Windows PeaZip (v. 1.9.3) compression utility, regarding the following: The program has a password dialog box after one selects "Test All“ for an encrypted zip archive, which claims the password will enter in clear text. The text that appears when typed is plain and visible, not invisible (showing the password!). The utility is a nice one, but this glitch makes it unusable by my standards (both the Linux and Windows versions have this problem). The utility needs this resolved, plus the Linux version displays the archive as unreadable, garbled junk (on many distros, including mine!). Don't answer about this second issue, please, just about the password.

"Contact (and possibly help) the author" is the only sensible answer I can think of.

Oh, well, I can right-click and bring up a context menu in the Windows version, and run a password-prompting archive test without the password showing; just not in the main program window. I have to wait for another version to use PeaZip in Linux, some of you lucky ones have distros without the garbage display problem (openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 isn't one of them).
I fold. I'm not joining the PeaZip forum.

Thanks for supporting F/OSS, may your investment be returned to you tenfold.

Hi, PeaZip allows to enter hiden (* characters) password in the application's window, the field on the top right of the archive browser interface (with the locker icon on the right).

About garbled text on some Linux distribution, it's a know issue of the version of the Lazarus compiler I'm using, but now it was updated (and it was a gret update, many thanks to Lazaus team!); the new version of PeaZip for Linux will be compiled with the new IDE and should no longer show this issue on any distro.

I'll definitely join the stampede for that new version (I downloaded and tried every Linux package for the 1.9.3)
