Cleanly extract many archive types.

dtrx extracts archives in a number of different formats; it currently
supports tar, zip (including self-extracting .exe files), cpio, rpm, deb,
gem, 7z, cab, rar, lzh, arj, and InstallShield files. It can also decompress
files compressed with gzip, bzip2, lzma, xz, lrzip, lzip, or compress.

In addition to providing one command to handle many different archive
types, dtrx also aids the user by extracting contents consistently. By
default, everything will be written to a dedicated directory that's named
after the archive. dtrx will also change the permissions to ensure that the
owner can read and write all those files.

Install dtrx from standard repositories (Trinitydog_Stretch). I use it with Thunar/Open with /Use a custom command/dtrx
It works well without any input from user in terminal.

I posted about this some years ago. Can't remember where I found it. but probably via K Mandla's site. It needs python.
I use UExtract all the time now. Dtrx is no longer maintained by the looks of things.
