Adding another one would only make it worse. Think of a novice user who has never used Ark and wants to extract an archive: "which one of these four items should I click?". How about a global option like "Always use the archive name as subfolder name"? You could simply check it in the settings dialog, once and for all. Then you will extract your archives with the existing "Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder" item. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
