@Patrice Vetsel: I'm not entirely sure about opening a new nautilus window after extraction. This may be annoying. An option should be given to the user to select or deselect this behavior. My aim with this feature is to reduce any needless mouse-clicking when handling archives, therefore I don't support the notification idea. An audible cue should be played though on operation completion.
@Patrick Roberts: The same as what I said above, my goal is to reduce mouse clicking. The faster the user can work with his archived files, the better. The behavior you describe could/should be in effect if there was an option in the context menu that said "Extract contents to...".
@Serious: the "Remember my choice" checkbox would ensure that if you wanted to use the current way of handling archives, you would be bothered only once with the dialog. I agree, displaying that dialog every time is definitely bad.
