Hello. I want to propose a improvement for an annoying XArchiver setting option.

Issue description

In the Settings -> Advanced, the user may select the Prefered extraction folder, but there is no possibility to make it automatically follow the directory movements.

Example:

Above setting is set to /home/username/Downloads and I open XArchiver in a folder /home/username/work, where I open a archive I want to extract.

After clicking the "Extract" button, it automatically switches to the /home/username/Download instead of remain in the current folder and forcing to manually browse the forler structure back to the folder with the archive.

Proposed solution

I propose to remove the "Prefered extraction folder" setting and replace it with automatic folder following

I will definitely not remove the "Preferred extraction directory" option, but I might think about making it easier to select the directory the archive is in.

Hello and thanks for the answer.

I had proposed above because assigning a static extraction folder is annoying aspecially when there is a need to extract more then just one archive and by each there is need to manually browse the directory structure to do that
