I very strongly disagree, if I open an archive, I expect it to open, not extract or anything. 100% of the times I open an archive I want to inspect the content before I decompress. Unpacking blindly only creates much more work, because I have to copy the stuff where I want it, deal with overwriting files myself and probably have to sort them by hand.

For me this suggestion is an absolute no-go, neverever change to that behaviour.
