Expander should have option to create directories that don't exist.

[kallisti5]

• Provide Expander a path to expand to that doesn't exist
• Press extract.. Expander says "Destination folder doesn't exist"

• A more useful feature may be to ask the user:

  "Destination folder doesn't exist, create?"
  <Yes> <No>

Some archives store only one folder and Expander handle it correctly, but some other store files and folders directly in archive. This archives should be extracted in separate folder(usually named as archive but without file extension).

Extra checkbox "Extract in separate folder" can be added.

This is feature creep and should not be in the alpha4 milestone. Moving to unscheduled.

Looks like this patch need some love - in case there are some nested nonexisted folders - data will be extracted in wrong folder. :-( For example: set the destination to /boot/home/desktop/uu/uu and start expanding - folders are created but files were extracted to Desktop instead of uu/uu folder.

Indeed. :/ I'll find a workaround in a moment...

I found - it was necessary to create new BEntry after creating a directory path.

Expander now has a new feature that gives the user the option of creating the missing directory or not when expanding a file ​blossom word game. This should improve the user interface of the program and the overall Haiku experience.
