Honestly though if they just added "extract to {archivename}\" as a right click option it would cover more than 90% of my usage.

I love KDE's "extract here, autodetect folder" feature for compressed files

Have you used Windows recently? This option currently exists as a right-click option in Windows 11.

I only see the "Extract All..." option which has been there for years and isn't what I want. If it just proceeded with the extraction and didn't pop up a window asking where to put it then we'd be in business, but as currently implemented it's an additional interaction to do the same thing.
