About this beta

This is an early test release, not a complete replacement for the Windows 7-Zip File Manager. Some advanced actions are not yet available, and dragging files from Archive Manager into Nautilus is still being validated.

Tested on Zorin/Ubuntu 24.04. Please review the release notes before installing.
