Description of problem: Say that you use the Cinnamon desktop and have an archive (tar, tar.gz, tar.xz or .xz) and you open it with xed to extract some or all files to a chosen destination, xed seems to have a bug that extracts the file/files to both the chosen place from the file browser window and also extracts the same file/files to $HOME/Desktop and this happens only in file-roller because I tried unpacking/extracting the same file/files with Engrampa and Engrampa works just fine to extract to just 1 place/location. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 44.1-1 How reproducible: Everytime I try to extract using xed Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download any tar.gz. 2. Open that with xed 3. Click to extract a file to another place than the Desktop. 4. The file gets extracted to the chosen place, but also to the Desktop.
Maybe another symptom on your system like bug 32025 ATM task-cinnamon cannot be installed on a fresh cauldron system, so not able to test.

I have just tried it directly on a .tar.gz archive, and it did in fact manage to display some of a text file contained therein - but gave up with an error. Not surprising; nothing extra on the Desktop. It can open multiple [text] files. Are you expecting it to open each text file in an archive in a separate window? What about the non-text files? Where do you see 'chosen destination' for extracting an archive with xed? Perhaps we have missed your point.
