Unfortunately that's how it needs to be done unless you have something like DefIcons installed, which can assign default icons to different types of files. Without DefIcons installed, you'll need to copy an icon to the file to unpack. I would suggest keeping a suitable icon somewhere handy and copying it to the file rather than changing the file settings each time, but it's probably still quicker if you have DOpus installed.
