I was able to get it to work again by modifying /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/syncthing_gtk/nautilusplugin.py as follows: I replaced the line 117

                return file.get_location().get_path().decode('utf-8')

with

                return file.get_location().get_path()

After this the plugin works with my nautlius 42.2. As I am no expert I am not sure if this is correct but so far I have not encountert any problems.
