Bug Description

Chances are that when you click on an archive you're going to extract it in order to deal with it's contents. It'd be nice to save a few steps and have Marlin automatically extract the archive, move the archive to the trash, and then navigate into the resulting directory.

If Marlin removed the archive after extracting, I would say it is a bug. What if you have an archive, want to send it to a friend, and also want to check what is in it ?

if your archive > 4G u probably don't want to stay like a idiot in front of your filemanager empty window while it's extracting it without asking anything.
