Automatic file unpacking is *not* what I would expect, and I will file a bug if you make this the default action.

1. If I want a loaded gun, I'll load it myself ... thank you, very much. This can be "dangerous" (read as PITA), especially to someone who is trying to make space on a crowded drive by inspecting archives (to see if they can be deleted).

2. It also a pain to cleanup if all I wanted to was look at the file list, or even the files (file-roller implements open on contained files).

3. I think a much better paradigm (if you'll pardon the antiquated term) would be to implement expanding the archive as if it were a subdirectory (directly in Nautilus).

4. I *like* the "extract here" in the right-click menu! I'd would like to see an "extract to $ARCHIVE directory ..." (with implied creation of that directory, of course) option added to that list.
