Hi.

Not sure whether this is a bug or an enhancement request. 

When selecting several archive files, then clicking on "Extract here", only the first archive is extracted. 

I'd expect all archives in the selection to be extracted.

Using Debian Jessie
thunar-archive-plugin | 0.3.1-2
xarchiver | 1:0.5.2+20130119+dfsg-3

This might be due to xarchiver itself (see here: https://sourceforge.net/p/xarchiver/bugs/67/) but even so, thunar-archive-plugin could workaround this by launching xarchiver once per file (?).

I think this is a bug. And I also have it! I'm using:

ii  thunar-archive-plugin    0.3.1-3           amd64             Archive plugin for Thunar file manager

My solution:
edit /usr/lib/thunar-archive-plugin/xarchiver.tap
change:
    extract-here)
       exec xarchiver "--extract-to=$folder" "$@"
       ;;

to

extract-here)
    # --multi-extract doesn't seem to work, so we will just use a loop
    # not sure here whether $@ vs. $* to use, both seem to work for me
    for name in "$*"; do
        xarchiver "--extract-to=$folder" "$name"
    done
    ;;
