Same here, under GNU/Linux. However, why do you create a directory ("a
folder") with the extension .tar or .zip? These are intended as "file"
name extensions, not for directories.

Anyway, I've committed a patch to the master branch, which should fix
this. I hope this does not delay file archive operations too much,
because for every single magic file operation I have to check now,
whether the file archive is a directory.

Could you pls check whether this works for you?
