Bug description
Quite a simple to fix bug, basically if you open any compressed file, than using the archive manager you can extract anything from it, however, if you keep the archive manager open, and than more the .tar.gz, than extracting does not work, and nothing happens.
The argument that its because the file path changed is probably correct, but if so I'm sure their could be a way for it to at least notify me if the file had changed and if i want to exit, or go to a new path, or subjectively, better yet you can just auto configure it
Steps to reproduce
Make a ~/Desktop/compressed.tar.gz file in ~/Desktop
make a folder: ~/Desktop/temp
open the ~/Desktop/compressed.tar.gz file in ~/Desktop
and extract any file to ~/Desktop/temp
it will work!
now do not close the archive manager
move the ~/Desktop/compressed.tar.gz to ~/Desktop/temp/compressed.tar.gz
and try and extract any file anywhere from the archive manager that you didn't close
it will NOT work
nor will it give you a menu that the file was missing
Expected behavior
it should at least give a error menu saying file not found, better yet it should have a option saying open new file path (assuming its moved and not deleted), or subjectively perhaps auto configuring it without asking the user would be better, but the argument that the user would be unaware also has merit

I think this would be an issue for Gnome archive manager (file-roller) rather than Mint.
Expect problems if you do in-flight moves of open files.
