xarchiver

as modified, on the shortcut menu, to "extract here" use engrampa, not xarchiver.

Re: xarchiver

If you are talking about the defaults apps that are included with your system that is up to each distro.

Re: xarchiver

Maybe my solution will appeal to you.
In depths of internet I found avfs (http://avf.sourceforge.net/). It's virtual filesystem and work like archive viewer in midnight commander. Just click and open it, with one difference - allways open archive in new thunar window ;/

Install avfs (probably in distro repository) and save this script somewhere and when open an archive use 'own command'

#!/bin/bash

# check wheter avfs is running
if [[ -z $(ps aux|grep [a]vfsd) ]]; then
	mountavfs
fi

PUNKTMONTOWANIA=$HOME/.avfs


FILE=$(echo $1 | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}')
WD=$(echo $1 | awk -F "$FILE" '{print $1}'|awk -F "$PUNKTMONTOWANIA" '{print $NF}')
NPATH=$PUNKTMONTOWANIA$WD$FILE"#/"

exo-open "$NPATH"

In biger archives (more than 100MB) works faster than file-roller or xarchiver
