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: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
Reporter: gregor.rosenauer at gmail.com
CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
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.
