Can I get archives to unpack in the current directory instead of my home?
If you bind archives to commands such as:
tar xzf "$@"you will find that the files in the archive will be unpacked in your home directory. (Actually they get unpacked into ROX-Filer's current directory, which is normally $HOME).
To have the files unpack into the the same directory as the archive either:
- Use a script like:
cd "`dirname $@`" tar xzf "$@"
or - Use Archive to to unpack archives.
Using Archive is prefered because it is far more flexible.

For RAR I set run action to: xterm -e unrar x "$@" `dirname "$@"`
Same can be done with any other compression utility, I'm sure.
Unrar
The developer version uses this. I will upload a new release on sf.net's file release system starts working again.

7z
I like 7z.
you can install it on debian with "apt-get install p7zip-full p7zip-rar"
then, on rox, you can do this:
7z x -o"$(dirname "$@")" "$@"
You can use tar -C
Like this:
xterm -e tar -C "`dirname $@`" -vxjf "$@"
