Bug Description
In Ubuntu 12.04, the nautilus-actions %F command parameter would allow any combination of files and folders to be selected in the context menu by right clicking the item(s).
In Ubuntu 12.10, the nautilus-actions %F command parameter allows ONLY 1 file to be selected. Multiple files are not allowed. Folders are not recognized at all, alone or in combination.

After some experimentation, I have discovered that the developers have been playing fast and loose with default options.
If you change 12.10 default option for Environment from count=1 back to 12.04 default value of count>0, you get the ability to select any number of files.
If you change 12.10 default option for Mimetypes from all/allfiles back to 12.04 default value of */*, you get the ability to select folders.
