Good day Tom,

you probably need to edit whatever sevice menu file you have set up so 
that its command looks like this:

<program> <program options> %F

Notice the capital F
It tells the system to send all selected file names to the 
application.
If there is a small f then only the first file name is sent. I think 
the same is true if no %f / %F is there at all.

You probably could test this by selecting multiple files, chose "Open 
With..." and type in the command.

Best regards :o)
