I really need to get used to these "publish" buttons, it's already two responses that don't get published because I don't see the button before you post a new comment.

The if I added prevents the extractor to set the nfo:fileName property of the root directory of the archive ("/"). This property does not seem to be that useful for the root directory of an archive. Either the user is looking for the archive itself (indexed by the SimpleExtractor), or for a file or directory in it.

I put if there because a file and a directory both need to have a file name set. With my test archives, I don't see empty file names. The files get their file name, and the directories have their name in this property. For example, an archive containing an Align directory, with an align.py file in has the nfo:fileName set to "Align" for the directory, and "align.py" for the file. I have tested .zip and .tar archives (.tar archives seem to have a wrong value in their uncompressedSize, though).

The extractor creates one Nepomuk resource per file or directory in the archive (root directory included). These resources have the types ArchiveEntry, and FileDataObject (for files) or Folder (for directories). They also have their nie:url property set to an URL that can be used with the Archive KIO (for instance, "zip:/home/me/archive.zip/one/file" or "tar:/usr/src/linux-3.7.2.tar.xz"). For files, their fileSize is set to the uncompressed size of the file.
