Kenzip simplifies working with p7-zip by providing a user-friendly frontend. It streamlines the compression and extraction process, making it easy to navigate through archives with basic functions such as drag and drop.
KenZip proves to have no complicated dependencies, making it possible to install it in any existing distribution. The Python qt3 package from the distros of OpenSuSE 10.2, Debian Testing 2006.01., and Kanotix 2006-01-RC4 has been tested. However, it is essential to install Python qt3 and p7-zip before using the software.
KenZip's recommended installation process involves using the distro's package from the repository for Debian-based distributions and the binary installer for other Linux distros.
The only requirement for using KenZip effectively is 7Zip. The recent release of KenZip includes a help file, self-extracting archive, .bin, and .exe formats. For more information, see the help file. In summary, KenZip is a compelling and easy-to-use software that provides an excellent alternative to Ark for users seeking password-protected archives.
