Now then, you can set unp as the run action for archives (at least in Rox filer anyway) BUT it always wants to extract everything to ~ instead of the directory the archive lives in. debs and it doesn't ask you a single question. It's command line only but it can extract all sorts of stuff including. Fortunately we have the fabulous script unp (yes available in Debian) that just works. Unfortunately (last I knew) Archive didn't handle all types or archives. You simply click the archive and it's extracted right then and there - no questions asked and then it just gets out of your way. Rox filer has a really nice utility called Archive. Where do you want to extract to? All Files? Done yet? OMG just shut up and EXTRACT IT ALL RIGHT HERE AND NOW AND GO AWAY! Any tool that is modeled after Winzip is IMHO waaay too much effort to simply extract an archive. What I find most irritating about almost all (un)archive utilities is that they want too much of your attention. I figured some of the other Linux tools could handle rar but I don't even have any.

Install winrar
