On a related note: Since switching to Mac a long time ago, I’ve come to love both the great support of archives by the OS (and The Unarchiver and more recently Keka) and the way archives are treated: double-click to extract and delete.
Exploring archives a-la-WinZIP has made little sense to me since (content previews however would still be helpful)

- qa-tari 3y agoI am not surprised that this default GNOME anti-feature (extract instead of mount or open in File Roller) was also inspired by macOS, which at least has a standard mountable container format. It becomes an annoyance as soon as you encounter your first archive that has no root directory (i.e. most Zip files created on a PC) and fills the parent folder with countless files.
- bandergirl 3y ago> fills the parent folder with countless files macOS unarchivers don't have that issue. Extractions always create a single item: either extract the single item in the archive or create a folder with the archives’s name before extracting. two-files.zip creates two-files/a.txt and two-files/b.txt one-file.zip creates a.txt
