            Bug ID: 507537
           Summary: Dolphin's "Extract to here" ignores source path of
                    archives in multiple selection
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 25.04.3
       Reported In:
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [email protected]

  Target Milestone: ---

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.
