            Bug ID: 441359
           Summary: extract archive opens new dolphin window
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.08.0
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: joao.vidal.silva at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Extracting an archive from Dolphin's context menu opens a new Dolphin window
and there's no clear way to disable this behaviour.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and navigate to a folder containing an archive file (say,
.zip).
2. Right-click the archive file and select 'Extract archive here' from the
context menu.

OBSERVED RESULT
After the extraction, a new Dolphin window will open on the same folder as the
original window.


EXPECTED RESULT
Either no new window should open (the observed behaviour until recently) or
there should be an option to disable it.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kernel 5.13.11-1-MANJARO
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Happens with different archive formats. I checked .tar.bz2, .zip, .rar.
2. As stated above in "OBSERVED RESULT" a new window opens on the same folder
as the original window. And although this is not the goal of this bug report,
if I wanted a new window to open, it would make more sense for it to open on
the folder containing the extracted files.
