I remember having a similar question when I did it.

I'm quite able to move files when I know where they should be, but I'm not going to remove that feature from my unzipper.
Anyway -- thanks for answering OP here and also me, when I asked a similar question about the mac's unzip format.  |
There are a lot of places where I stress "move the contents" . . . .
There is no way I can change all of the "un-archive" occurrences just to cover a minority OS.
That 'helpful' feature is part of the system trying to protect a user from tar-bombs.
And if you look at the contents (without any helpers) of the jailbreak file in the current JB, you will discover that
it is a tar-bomb.
It is suppose to be, that is critical to how it does its job.
You will find in the jb thread posts by people who opened it and then re-archved it with the MAC archive - breaking it, and wondering what went wrong.
