Playing with ark and reading the konsole output I see:

Opening an archive with *.jpg's 
KMimeTypeTrader::query: query for 
mimeType  "image/jpeg" ,  "KParts/ReadOnlyPart"  : returning  3  offers
ark(10920)/kdecore (trader) KMimeTypeTrader::query: query for 
mimeType  "image/jpeg" ,  "KParts/ReadOnlyPart"  : returning  3  offers
ark(10920)/kdecore (KLibLoader) kde4Factory: The 
library "/home/kdedev/kdedev/lib/kde4/gvpart.so" does not offer a 
qt_plugin_instance function.
ark(10920)/kparts KParts::Part::~Part: deleting widget  
Gwenview::DocumentView(0x842c4d8)   ""

And opening an an archive with *.pdf's
KMimeTypeTrader::query: query for 
mimeType  "application/pdf" ,  "okular/Generator"  : returning  1  offers

So associated viewer seems to be correct?

Hmm, I think now I understand this:
It should work like the submenu File -> Open Recent, but then it is wrong 
implemented.

How to change it:
Add a menuitem Extract with shortcut Ctrl+E to the Actions menu, the 
corresponding action is already implemented (and the action is already in the 
toolbar).
Add "Quick extract to >" to the  Actions menu, "Quick extract to ..." has to 
be changed to "Quick extract to >", because it's a submenu.
This item is enabled only when  [DirSelect Dialog] History Items 
in .kde/share/config is not empty or missing.
If there are any History items, they should appear here.
