In 1.11, I noticed an addition to the FileManager - unpack. Unable to find any information I assume you can unzip, gunzip, maybe tar -xzf based on filename extension maybe?
Can anyone point me at some documentation? Is it meant to be used to install upgrades (for those who only have FTP access)?
Usability feedback for NCleanGrey: active and disabled button colour too similar.

Re: FileManager unpack function
The unpack option should be able to handle .tar .tar.gz .tar.bz2 and .zip files. This replaces the old option that would only handle .zip files (if I remember correctly).
It is meant for expanding archives of images and other documents. Though "in advanced mode" you may be able to use it to unpack modules, your mileage may vary. Note if you are able to unpack archives this way you should also be able to use the module manager and/or the xml files from the forge.
