According to the documentation: "While the implications of the Yes answer
are usually very clear, the implications of the No answer are often not
clear at all." This was happening in this dialog. While the "Create
folder" button was clear, the "Do not create" wasn't, implying that the
decompression would continue even without the creation of the folder.
Maybe more appropriate would be to change it to "Create folder" and
"Cancel" ?
