Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-actions

The %d parameter when used should return the /path/to/selected/file-folder
but it simply doesn't work

Steps to reproduce :
Case 1:
- create an action and put in
  "Path" field : /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
  "Parameters" filed : --working-directory=%d
- make the action appear in folders and restart nautilus.
- Go to /etc/samba and run the action we created. gnome-terminal opens with
working-dir /home/<username>/

Case 2:
- create a bash script (test.sh) and put inside

#!/bin/bash
echo $1 > /tmp/test
echo "----" >> /tmp/test

- this should echo the %d parameter in /tmp/test
- create an action and put in
  "Path" field : /path/to/test.sh
  "Parameters" filed: %d
- make the action appear in files and folders and restart nautilus.
- go to whatever file or folder you want and run the action we created. then
check /tmp/test. Is is empty !

I've found that %M doesn't work (passes nothing) in 64bit (Jaunty & Intrepid) but is ok in 32bit (Hardy & Intrepid)

I hate this regression!

It was OK on Intrepid 32bit and it is broken on Jaunty 32bit
