Maybe it's a niche use case, but I'd really like the ability to have Ark extract an archive to a temporary directy, start a terminal emulator there, and then remove the temporary directory after the terminal closes.

On many occasions there are archives I'd like to be able to (for example) grep through, but I have no interest in the files beyond that.  As it stands now I have to extract them, grep, then remove.  It'd be very handy to do everything through Ark and not bother with cleaning up after myself.
