Hi,

I needed today graphical UI for unzipping a file but couldn't find an
application for this purpose. Does such tool exist?

The tool could be quite simple. Something made with e.g. python that
would use unzip (and maybe tar, bzip2, gzip) command line tool to
extract the files. Using python/c bindings would probably be a bit more
robust solution, if such exist.

The application should provide a .desktop file so that e.g. File Manager
and Browser would suggest it when the user is trying to handle an
archive file. The UI could mainly provide a way to select where to
extract the files. It could optionally allow user to see the content
file list without extracting them anywhere.

Providing a way to see the progress of the extracting and possibility to
cancel it would be a plus.
