Options after dragging the archive into the current directory after upgrading kio.

SUMMARY
When dragging and dropping an archive in Dolphin, the option to extract only appears when dragging the archive in a subdirectory and not for the current directory. Downgrading kio to 6.21.0 from 6.22.0 fixes issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag and drop archive in current directory.
2. Get no option to extract; only to copy and link.

Also, there is no progress/completion notification when extracting an archive with the drag and drop method after the 6.22.0 update.
