Yup.  Makes perfect sense for ‘.tar.xz’ files: no “regular” user 
wants the ‘.tar’ file, they want the sweet content.  Seems the 
Gnome authors think the same of ‘.iso.xz’.

Maybe they also offer separate ‘Extract…’ and ‘Decompress…’ 
options somewhere. 🤷  Using ‘xz’ avoids all this confusion.  And 
megathread.

Alas poor Jorge indeed, Laura,
