Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2021-04-04 10:16:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
Choosing to compress the currently viewed folder (by right-clicking an empty location) creates a compressed archive in the parent directory, but does not notify or inform the user of that fact.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any folder
2. Right click (in an empty location) > Compress > Compress here (as tar.gz)

OBSERVED RESULTS
A .tar.gz archive is created in the parent folder (not the one the user is currently viewing), and the user is given no notification/indication that the archive has been saved in a directory other than the current directory. This is confusing, and may lead the user to assume that nothing happened.

EXPECTED RESULTS
Either
1. The archive should be created in the directory being viewed by the user
2. The user should be notified that the archive can be found in the parent directory
