Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

The nautilus "extract here" option used to have the nice feature that if the archive contained a single file (or directoy), the file (or directory) would be put "here" (in the same directory as the archive). In gutsy, this is no longer the case. An extra directory is created and the single file is put there. The new directory makes sense if there is more than one top level file in the archive, but is pointless if there is just one top level entry.

The old behavior was quite smart and was "the right thing" to do. Please bring it back!
