The way to handle links is now available as option in the Advanced tab of archive creation screen. In the options group on the right you can find the checkbox to save symbolic links as links (default on) and to save hard links as links (default off).

Program's error reporting it is not based in setting an exitcode when closing, rather there are specific interactive, human readable error messages (and logs if applicable) for each operation performed in the GUI. I could consider in adding exitcodes to single purpose functions (like the one triggered by the switch), where the program is expected to run a single task and exit.

It was a legacy switch, no longer supported, I'll update documentation accordingly in the next release. It was an internal method used to test correctness of a password for the input archive, now superseded by a more efficient routine, and it was also made available as CLI switch.

Thank you for reporting the issue. I've now fixed it for next release.

PeaZip 10.9.0 free archiver

Thank you for the feedback. I've found a bug in the zip comment check procedure, that can cause the archive to remain locked in some cases, which is what it is preventing modifications to archive as in the reported issue. It will be fixed in the next update.

Extracting the test zip file and zipping the content again with PeaZip (default settings), results in archive which can be updated (delete or rename) without issues. Can you point me to settings used in producing the TEST.zip file?
