Summary: Save archive in a extracted form
Product: kdialog
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
When saving an archive file, eg. downloaded from the web, it would be great to
have an option in the file save dialog to extract it immediately after saving.
Or even save it only in an extracted form, without saving the archive itself.
I think it's very common situation: a user downloads an archive from a website,
a file save dialog appears (depending on a browser settings), then one chooses
location, saves the file. Then opens a file manager, goes to the save location,
right-clicks the archive file, chooses to extract it, possible deletes the
original archive.
It would be much simpler if the file save dialog, detecting an archive file,
showed an option to save extracted content of the archive instead of the
archive itself. It could be a separate checkbox or an additional item in a
filter combobox, like "Extracted archive content". I think the user's choice
should be remembered as default (maybe for a given archive type).
