gunzip -qc * | tar xvf -
is not as smart looking as just tar zxvf, at least these days.
And are you sure you want to use -q: Suppress all warnings?

Not all versions of tar support the 'z' flag, even today.

However, if your version of tar supports this flag you can tell dired-x
to use it with the following form:

(setq dired-guess-shell-gnutar "tar")

Thanks,
