About the "Cannot extract archives in a remote folder "<foldername>" on
drag and drop...

I've looked at the code and, to me, it seems that developers have forgotten to 
remove a test that prevented extraction to a remote folder in 
the previous versions, when this was not possible. As now they added support 
for remote extraction via gnome-vfs ***, I don't think the error message is 
necessary.

so... I've attached a patch against file-roller 2.19.91 (it just deletes
the "if" condition for non local uris in the dnd extraction)

I don't have much time now, please test it :)


*** see http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNineteen/ReleaseNotes , "Uses gnome-vfs 
to load and save remote archives, as well as to add remote files to an archive 
and to extract to remote locations. USED."

** Attachment added: "file-roller 2.19.91 patch (remove error on extract to 
remote location by dnd)"
