Nautilus uncompressing files #1

Description

@glogiotatidis

When you "extract archive" using nautilus and possibly other file managers, the manager creates a directory with the name of the archive and then extracts all its contents in there. When the extraction ends, nautilus checks if there is only only directory in the folder, and if yes moves this directory, back in the same directory where the archive resides. Finally deletes the self created directory.

This behaviour can cause an extra directory to be created in the server which doesn't get deleted

Steps to reproduce:

  1. create a directory "work"
  2. create a file into "work"
  3. zip work so that the archive contains both directory and the file
  4. name the archive work.zip
  5. move the archive into the "melissi" folder
  6. use nautilus to "Extract here"
  7. After syncing there should be a cell named "work/work" which shouldn't be there.
