i think it would be nice to have the folder that contains the archive you want to extract as the default path for extraction. i suggest to have that path pre-entered in the "Extract to:" field in the extract dialog.
maybe even the path and the name of the archive as a new folder (+ a checkbox to disable the "new folder" option in the extract prefs and have its setting saved).

many tools for windows do it that way and i think it's way better than always have the user enter ".", the path or open the file chooser and press "ok" directly after opening it just to select the current folder for quick extraction into the current dir (or the subdir which has the archives name without extension).

Reproducible: Always
