4. Look at setting "Open archives as folder"

OBSERVED RESULT
Wording "Open archives as folder" isn't great English.

EXPECTED RESULT
Wording could be better.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250209
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5

Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.1-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have been staring at "Open archives as folder" so much that it's kinda lost all meaning to me, but there's something off about it! Firstly, you cannot open something "as folder"; it could be "as a folder" maybe. But even with that you have the mismatch of plural archives and singular folder. So maybe "Open archives as folders". But that also feels a bit odd, although I'm not sure why. Hopefully someone can come up with some ideal wording.

A suggestions:

"Show compressed files as a subfolder"
