Feature request bug - show files behavior

[Andrew King]

I don't see a reason that the main application should stay open after "show files" is clicked.

Wouldn't a more intuitive behavior be to close the archive browser when you choose to show files?

I'm not complaining, and it's certainly not a deal-breaker for using file-roller, but it does seem like a needless window after a particular option is clicked unless there is a delete archive option after you click through to browse contents.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure they would consider it upstream, as they have different goals then when the program is closely integrated into Ubuntu, I would say it is a ux papercut for using it in unity, or other Ubuntu desktops when launching from a file manager.
