Title:
  Folder name created by Desktop Icons NG "Extract here" always ends in
  "."

Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A ZIP-file placed directly on the GNOME desktop can be extracted using
  the context menu command "Extract here". This creates a new folder to
  hold the extracted contents. The folder name should be created by
  stripping the file extension from the archive file name and leaving
  just the prefix. On the whole, this works, but the '.' separating the
  prefix from the extension becomes part of the folder name. This is
  unexpected, the '.' should be stripped away as well.

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Place any ZIP-Archive "aaa.zip" on desktop
  - Right-click ZIP-archive and select "Extract here"

  Observed behavior:
  - Contents are extracted into a newly created folder named "aaa."

  Expected behavior:
  - Contents are extracted into a newly created folder named "aaa"
