Comment (by dogcow):
Personally, I prefer the "old school" behavior of an archive file opening
with `Expander` or another archive utility. I have always found the
Windows-style behavior annoying, and non-technical users are constantly
confused by it. Just the other day, I had to field a support call where a
user was trying to install software (on Windows) that was inside a zip
file, but he was getting stuck because he just double-clicked the zip file
instead of actually extracting the files.
It might be neat if you could drag a file on top of an existing archive
and be prompted to add the file to the archive. But my vote is for keeping
it as simple as possible.
