Destination folder chooser should default to current archive location, not last location used

This one probably qualifies as enhancement request. My personal issue is, that 
I usually like the default behavior of Apple's default unarchiver: You double 
click an archive, and it decompresses right to the current directory where the 
archive is located. This behavior is usually fine and thus I also use it for 
The Unarchiver ("Same folder as the archive"). However, sometimes you have a 
huge archive that might be hosted on an external drive (USB HD, network drive, 
etc.) and you neither want to unarchive it directly on that (remote/external) 
drive, nor do you want to first copy the huge archive to your HD to unarchive 
it there. In that case it is preferable to unarchive from that other drive to 
your HD directly ("Ask for a destination folder"). The problem is, that 
changing between these two options very often is quite annoying. Personally I 
would rather go with "Ask for a destination folder" as default, however, The 
Unarchiver always remembers the last folder I have been unarchiving to, 
however, I personally would prefer (and it also would make much more sense to 
many people IMHO) if the destination chooser always comes up with the location 
of the archive selected. If you then want to unarchive to the same location 
(which is the 90% case), just hit okay and you get that behavior. If you want 
to unarchive somewhere else (the 10% case), select a different folder first, 
then hit okay. Users that always want to unarchive to a specific location won't 
use this option anyway, they will select "Other..." and select a fixed folder, 
so any change to the chooser behavior won't affect them in the first place.
