Description

### What Happened?

If I use the right click menu to Extract or Compress a file and then immediately go to do this again on another file it will fail. If I then try again it will work. Every other time fails. If I do something else ie Rename in between the Compress or Extract tasks then these will work fine

This is the case on eOS7, but had same issues on 6 and 6.1

### Steps to Reproduce

In Files, right click on a file/folder
Choose Compress
Now right click on another file/folder
Choose Compress

### Expected Behavior

Expect Compress/Extract to work each time

### OS Version

7.x (Early Access)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)
