Description tr1950x 2020-04-27 10:04:09 UTC 
SUMMARY
Show 'Extract archive here' in the right click panel on a selected .zip file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin containing a compressed file such as a .zip file
2. Right click on the compressed file.
3. The panel shows 'Extract'.

OBSERVED RESULT
I need to click one more time to extract the archive.

EXPECTED RESULT
Show 'Extract here' and when clicked, the archive is extracted in the current directory.

This way users can increase productivity.

That means don't hide "Extract here" in the "Extract    >" sub-menu, right?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-04-28 14:07:18 UTC 
Yeah.
Comment 3 Sean Long 2023-01-12 10:34:41 UTC 
Is this still something we are looking at implementing? I have no c++ or Qt experience, but am happy to give it a shot.

I am thinking the right click menu would end up being:

....
Extract here
Extract >
     Extract archive to...
     Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder
....
