Description Bastien Nocera 2016-10-29 13:56:42 UTC 
If an archive contains a single file, nautilus is supposed to unpack it in the local folder, not in a sub-directory. However, it will fail to do so if the file contained in the archive has the same name as the archive plus suffix.

For example:
$ unzip -l ~/Downloads/Thomson/blitz.m7.zip 
Archive:  /home/hadess/Downloads/Thomson/blitz.m7.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
    16384  10-07-2001 14:33   blitz.m7
---------                     -------
    16384                     1 file

Unpacking it will create a "blitz.m7" file inside a "blitz.m7" directory, instead of the "blitz.m7" file directly in the directory.
