pinnedback

Pinnedback is a file archiver and compressor utility for Windows and other operating systems. It was created as an open-source project in the early 2000s, initially designed to provide an alternative to existing graphical file archivers. The software's primary function is to compress files and directories into archive formats, such as ZIP, 7Z, and TAR.

One of the key features of Pinnedback is its ability to support various file formats and compression algorithms. Users can create and manage archives with ease, using a graphical interface to select files and configure compression options. The software also allows for password protection and encryption of archives, offering enhanced security and privacy features.

Pinnedback was initially developed as a fork of the p7zip project, a command-line based compression tool. Over time, the software developed its own features and user interface, diverging from its roots in p7zip. The project's active development and community support have contributed to its stability and performance, making it a viable option for users seeking a reliable and feature-rich archiver.

Users can customize Pinnedback to suit their needs by modifying configuration settings and using command-line options. The software also supports improved performance and interactive features, including advanced filtering and filelist sorting. Pinnedback is available as a free download for Windows and other platforms, with optional add-ons and development tools for advanced users.

Throughout its existence, Pinnedback has gained a loyal following among professionals and enthusiasts seeking an open-source archiver with advanced features and superior performance.
