We have "Extract here" and "Extract to..." context menu items.

But it would be comfortabaly if we have "Extract to subfolder" context menu item. So, applying it toi 'archive.tar' file axtracts files to './archive' folder.

Thanks!

I disagree on this one.

IMO it would further blow up the already big context menu with an action which is not used often.

And if you want to have a sub-folder, in "extrace to ...", at least file-roller already provides a button "create folder". I guess it is the same for xarchiver, since usually a system dialog is used for that.

If needed, you can create an "Extract to subfolder" context-menu item yourself in "Edit --> Configure Custom Actions". Here some examples: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions

Well if we'll have change from bug #14773 - agree, this we'll be less needed :)

Feel free to close...
