I just grabbed the latest version of DF (via bitnami) and I want to upload my web app to local file storage. The problem is there is no way to select a .zip and have it be extracted anymore. I have to create the entire folder structure by hand and upload one file at a time.

Was this function removed? I thought the older version had a check box that would extract the files?

I got this response from DF Support:

> I just wanted to follow up from your chat with herschel and clarify regarding the file manager application.  
> The file manager API still supports unzip on upload. However the GUI application does not. This was just an oversight that happened when we upgraded to a different file manager UI. Unzip on upload will be added back in to this UI in future releases.

Thanks for the fast response.
