Contributor hellocatfood on the Look and Feel category

Is the extracting archive window needed?  
Written by hellocatfood the 27 Jun 09 at 18:47. Global category: Look and Feel. New
The window for displaying the progress of extracting archives is useful but I feel it is information that could be displayed in a more efficient way. I think, where possible, there should be less windows popping up for repetitive actions.

Solution #1: Icons showing extraction progress
Written by hellocatfood the 27 Jun 09 at 18:47.
Instead of (or, in addition to) the current window for displaying progress in extracting archives show the progress bar for the current archive in the place of the icon.

I've put a screenshot of what I mean here: http://img193.imageshack.us/i/screenshot27183204.png/
