Created attachment 188236 [details] Video showing how Dolphin does it and how tar does it SUMMARY Whjen you have a tar archive that was compressed with gunzip, but this is not reflected in the filename, when it is extracted via context menu using Extract > Extract here, it is extracted into a gunzip archive, not the underlying files. This is unlike what tar does. I am attaching a video for better ilustration. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In terminal, run: touch a b tar -czf aa.tar a b # this creates a tar archive with applied gunzip compression containing files a and b rm a b 2. Extract aa.tar using context menu Extract > Extract here OBSERVED RESULT A gunzip archive called aa is created. EXPECTED RESULT Two files a and b are created, like running tar "-xvf aa.tar" does.

Can confirm with Ark 25.12. Also, when opening the aa file from the first "Extract here" process within Dolphin (with having the "Browse compressed files as folders" option enabled), Dolphin can't. And: When opening the aa.tar from the command with Ark, it shows just a simple "aa" entry (opening that will open a new Ark window showing the a and b files) When opening the aa.tar from the command with Dolphin with that enabled option, it shows the a and b files directly.
