    Who unzips archives before you even know what’s in it? That’s madness.

    You can do that in Windows and Linux (kde at least), it’s just part of the right-click context menu, which makes far more sense to me.

    Edit: I just remembered that a Mac mouse only has one button lol

      Most importantly on KDE you have “extract archive here, autodetect subfolder”. Having Ark be a different program than Dolphin is also the right choice as archives aren’t directories.

      Also if you ever fucking make a tarball that doesn’t have a top-level directory and exactly one directory at the top level everyone officially hates you.

      (And yes for some unfathomable reason kde calls directories folders)

          I’m not angry I’m older than Windows 95 which started that whole new-fangled “folder” thing for no reason whatsoever. And it’s slowly infecting Unix, too.

          …and at the same time they’re still using dir to list… a folder?
