File-Roller doesn't warn before replacing files

[Arek Olek]

Binary package hint: file-roller

If you unpack the archive using the menu item folder choosing dialogue box appears, and there is an option called "replace existing files".

But when using drag & drop the files get overwritten without any previous warning, and no matter if you had chosen previously to replace existing in the dialogue mentioned above. I'm not sure if there is any other option to control this. And don't know if this is expected behaviour. Thus filing this bug.

What should happen: a dialogue asking what to do should appear

What happens: files get overwritten without a warning

Steps to reproduce:
1. Grab an archive (it was tar.gz in my case) and open it with file-roller
2. Unpack its content to some folder using drag&drop.
3. Do it one more time and watch files being overwritten.

I'm not sure if this is Nautilus or File-Roller bug. But Nautilus asks before replacing files ;)
