SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250209
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.1-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have been staring at "Open archives as folder" so much that it's kinda lost
all meaning to me, but there's something off about it! Firstly, you cannot open
something "as folder"; it could be "as a folder" maybe. But even with that you
have the mismatch of plural archives and singular folder. So maybe "Open
archives as folders". But that also feels a bit odd, although I'm not sure why.
Hopefully someone can come up with some ideal wording.
