Any opinions on the Nautilus automatic decompression behavior?
decompressing all archives by default when you only want to open a

I noticed by mistake the new change when I opened Zip file and
noticed
no changes (didn't noticed the folder was already extracted every
time I
tried) and got a folder full of garbage temporary extractions.
This has happened to me too. I'm glad we have real support for
compressed archives in nautilus now, but I agree it would be better to
not extract stuff automatically. Nautilus should just show the user
inside the archive, similar to what Windows Explorer does, and only
perform extraction when explicitly requested.
