Correct version:

Comment 2 Goksel Goktas 2009-05-26 09:22:36 UTC 
The bug is valid only if the archive in question contains a single file. In any other situation file-roller seems to perform what it claims to do, although I think the help-line is still misleading as this isn't always the case.

Maybe separation of the two functionalities might be a better idea?

I changed the text in "Extract the contents of the archives in the archive folder and quit the program"
