Bug Description

Ubuntu 9.04 Beta AMD64 Gnome

In Gnome File Browser (Nautilus 2.26.1), you can right-click on an archive file (.zip, .tar.gz, .tgz) and select "Extract Here". This works as expected in a local folder.

When trying to use "Extract Here" on an archive file over a Network Folder (using Connect To Server...), this only creates an empty folder.

I can reproduce this using a .zip, .tgz, .tar.gz files using a network share either over SMB or SSH. I haven't tried other archive types or mount types. I have tried with several different archive packages.

I have recently upgraded from 8.10 -> 9.04 Beta. It worked prior to Beta.

Has anyone tested if this is still an issue with the latest version in Karmic?
