Description Gregor B. Rosenauer 2025-07-27 09:46:27 UTC 
When using the Dolphin Extract plugin, I would expect a different outcome in my use case:
I have a root folder with several sub folders containing *.rar archives and want to extract them all to *their* *respective* location, so I did this:

1. use Dolphin's "Search" function to search for ".rar" in the top-level folder
1. I got all *.rar's as expected, with their respective Path shown in the Path column
1. I selected all matching archives in the search result and invoked "Extract -> to here and remove"
1. I expected the Extractor to be smart enough to interpret "here" correctly as the *archive's* source path, not the first path of the first archive
1. Dolphin extracted *all* archives to the path of the first one, which is wrong.

TL;DR: Dolphin's Extract plugin should respect the path of the source archive when invoked for a selection of multiple files with different source locations, and not blindly taking the first path for all of them as destination.
