Salamander should natively support more archive formats:
* .BR (Brotli) https://github.com/google/brotli
* .LZ4 https://github.com/lz4/lz4
* .LZIP and XZ - both are LZMA2 variations
* .ZIPX (via 7z.dll)
* .ZSTD https://github.com/facebook/zstd
There are also 2 ways to compress .JPEG in a lossless archive. XnViewMP can display both:
* Lepton https://github.com/dropbox/lepton
* packJPG https://github.com/packjpg/packJPG
A proper library for displaying camera raw files:
* libRaw https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw
A modern library for viewing images (including .webp and .jxr) can be found here:
* free image library http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/features.html
Please don't let us down

Re: native support for more archive formats
Now that there is version 4.0, could you please work on upgrades?
I could provide file samples.

Re: native support for more archive formats
I think you got a wrong idea here. The 4.0 is a freeware. There is no more Altap, as it was bought by Fine software. If you are able you can send message to the original authors and implement it yourself.squeezechart wrote: ↑07 Jul 2019, 18:25 Now that there is version 4.0, could you please work on upgrades?

Re: native support for more archive formats
We can open source 7-Zip plugin and PictView plugin. If anyone would like to work on these plugins (for example implement support for mentioned formats), let us know...

Re: native support for more archive formats
Unless I am told otherwise, I think that making a software freeware doesn't mean the development is frozen.
How long would it take until other file managers offer more features than our beloved Salamander
if it stays in its current state? If the owners do not plan to update or enhance it anymore,
there may be a user base that does - I guess there are some people around that can build additional plugins.

This library is really nice. In AS case it makes it unusable as it uses GNU type licence which requires all the rest to be published under GNU licence as well.A modern library for viewing images (including .webp and .jxr) can be found here:

**Edit**
I could imagine more OpenImageIO - https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio being used due to better licence type for AS.
