What a great shame that, almost two years down the line, Ubuntu 10.04LTS installs Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool version 2.30.2 with no option to install a later version in Synaptic Package Manager. I have spent two evenings trying to use the %M variable - learning from scratch, eventually finding and installing a script which shows the the parameters accepted by NACT, and then discovering this bug. I think it's disgraceful that Ubuntu of this vintage allows the installation of broken software.
BTW the thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9607212
ends with a link to instructions on how to install Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool v2.30.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 - but the link is broken. If anybody knows how to do this it would be useful to post it here.
