I wasn't initially aware of this behavior, but when extracting an archive that only has one element, the extracted file gets placed in the root directory (where the extract occurred) rather than a created directory named after archive. This actually resulted in problems for me when having multiple archives that just so happen to have a single file with the same name. This resulted in the filenames colliding and overwriting each other.

Would you consider having a option to always create a folder even if there is only one file?
