Regarding: "I'm not entirely sure about opening a new nautilus window after extraction."
I am just curious: How do you normally use archives?
You say that "The faster the user can work with his archived files, the better.", but what sense does it make to extract an archive and then not be able to do anything with the contents?
I think that a user nearly never really wants to "extract" an archive for extraction's sake. What a user usually wants is to open a file inside the archive (for me, this constitutes about 80%), put the contents of the archive somewhere (which includes extraction, but does not stop there), add a file to the archive etc.
If you want that the archive just gets extracted and you not even want a Nautilus window to pop up afterwards, I am curious what you normally do with archives. Extract them and just leave the content there without ever touching it again?
This is not a personal offense or something at all, I just really would like to understand what your use case is, when you are talking about "working with archives". Because at the moment I do not know what you really want to do with your archives apart from extracting them (which, as said before, IMO almost always is the way rather than the goal).
