Bug Description
Environment:
Xubuntu 18.04 20180313 live CD
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
Release: 18.04
$ apt-cache policy engrampa
engrampa:
Installed: 1.20.0-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.20.0-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1.20.0-0ubuntu1 500
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an archive -
a) Open Thunar to /usr/share/
b) Right-click > Create archive. Set Filename to "abc" and Location to Documents
c) Click "Create"
2) Open a Thunar window to ~/Documents
3) Open a second Thunar window to the home directory
4) Right-click+drag the "abc.tar.gz" from the Documents window to the home directory window, and click "Extract here".
Expected results:
There should be a folder "abc" in the home directory, containing the extracted contents of the archive.
Actual results:
The "abc" folder is in ~/Documents.
Some investigation shows that Thunar is running this command -
engrampa --extract-
Running it manually in Terminal produces the same result.

Looks to me like this is a Thunar problem. From man engrampa it looks like this is expected behavior while using the --extract-here option.
