Bug Description

$ uname -a
Linux brucesalem-FQ582AA-ABA-SR5710F 2.6.38-16-generic #67-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 6 18:00:43 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I can't upgrade because upgrade manager complains about unsupported packages.

The version of the file manager pcMANfm is 0.99

The problem is that unlike earlier versions of nautalis, clicking a zip file does not create a directory with the same name as the zip file. The FM just extracts the files in the current dir, which is the way the shell command works.

Can I change the command that clicking on the zip file icon does or should I report a bug?

IMHO it is bad policy to change major functions of a tool like a file manager.

I can live with the following: menu->Tools->Open in Terminal and issue the shell command in a terminal:

unzip -d foo foo.zip

if foo is created if the dir doesn't exist and dir(N) is created if dir(N-1) does exist. If it is regarded is better to fork a shell and do all this and exit the shell, that is OK with me. The you need an option to the extract zip file menu to "Extract zip in a dir of the same name".
