Please reasign if this is a fault of nautilus. 

When I extract an archive with "extract here" via nautilus context menu 
file-roller will make a folder archive_name_FILES and extract the files 
into this folder. It would be better to name the folder just archive_name, 
but thats not the real problem . Normally this extra folder is only 
necessary if the archive contains more then one file or folder on the top 
level in the archive, then it's usually right to make this extra folder. 

But if the archive contains only one file (imagine patch_xyz.diff.gz) or 
only one folder (almost with the archives name) it's absolutely unnecessary 
to create this extra folder. Any archive manager i know of works in this 
way and doens't create this folder if it's not needed.

Thx in advance
