Something like:
panes.switch;mkdir %F;cd %F;panes.switch;file-roller -e %D %f
will not work, as the cd will be asyncronous so the archive will not be 
unpacked into the created subdir.

Probably the nearest you can get is:
panes.switch;mkdir %F;panes.switch;file-roller -e %D/%f %f
i.e. no automatic cd in the inactive pane. Or I suppose you could append 
another:
panes.switch;cd %F;panes.switch

Perhaps we should do something about a synchronous cd, but that's not so simple.
