We've had a bug report on Debian that thunar-archive-plugin that it's not honouring file-roller's behaviour in some cases. Specifically that "Extract here" should add the --extract-here to the parameters fed to file-roller. What this seems to do is if all the archive is contained in a directory then it extracts to that directory and if there is not then it creates one called <archive-name>_FILES and extracts there. I can see arguments for both behaviours so I'm forwarding this on to you to decide if you want to change the file-roller.tap. The Debian bug is: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424986
Created attachment 1399 Fixed file-roller.tap Put this file in /usr/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/file-roller.tap (overwrite)
Mass reassign. Nick, please check these pending reports. Thx.
Are you sure that $(pwd) is correct? Shouldn't this be $folder so that it works with DND?
Fixed in master. A release will follow soon: commit 004169f794000160bd3001b6a3fa1076063aeaa2 Author: Jannis Pohlmann <jannis@xfce.org> Date: Sun Jan 23 17:21:25 2011 +0100 Make "Extract Here" work again with file-roller (bug #3261). "Extract Here" after DND is still broken with file-roller for a simple reason: file-roller's --extract-here always seems to assume the destination to be the working directory. Overriding this with --extract-to=some/other/folder does not work.
