Description Viliam 2014-05-12 14:21:24 UTC 
Extracting files to the folder containing an asterisk in name leads to creating new folder (also applies when drag and dropped). The new folder is created with the name of the original one, but replacing the asterisk(s) with the name of the archive.

For ie.:
I have folder "foo **/" and an archive "archive.zip".

Expected:
When extracted to "foo **/" the file(s) should be extracted there.

What happens:
When extracted it first creates the new folder "foo archivearchive/" where it places the extracted file(s).

Some knowledge:
http://sevenzip.sourceforge.jp/chm/cmdline/switches/output_dir.htm

Quote: "If you specify * in {dir_path}, 7-Zip substitutes that * character to archive name."

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
