            Bug ID: 435342
           Summary: 'Compress here' in the right-click menu gives
                    unexpected results when compressing the currently
                    viewed folder
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.03.80

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Choosing to compress the currently viewed folder (by right-clicking an empty
location) creates a compressed archive in the parent directory, but does not
notify or inform the user of that fact.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any folder
2. Right click (in an empty location) > Compress > Compress here (as tar.gz)

OBSERVED RESULTS
A .tar.gz archive is created in the parent folder (not the one the user is
currently viewing), and the user is given no notification/indication that the
archive has been saved in a directory other than the current directory. This is
confusing, and may lead the user to assume that nothing happened.

EXPECTED RESULTS
Either
1. The archive should be created in the directory being viewed by the user
2. The user should be notified that the archive can be found in the parent
directory
