I hope this is not a feature, (it's a pain in the rear end.)
It means that after "extracting here" I have to mess about copying the
contents back up a level. I wouldn't mind if I had the choice of
"extract here" or "extract to" but only extract here is available. I can
go the "open with archive manager" route and then specify the location
but then what is "extract here" for?
