Bug Description

Extracting files to the folder containing an asterisk in name leads to creating new folder (also applies when drag and dropped). The new folder is created with the name of the original one, but replacing the asterisk(s) with the name of the archive.

For ie.:
I have folder "foo **/" and an archive "archive.zip".

Expected:
When extracted to "foo **/" the file(s) should be extracted there.

What happens:
When extracted it first creates the new folder "foo archivearchive/" where it places the extracted file(s).
