Description michaelsbaxter 2007-04-13 17:55:58 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Scripts work fine in a Nautilus file browser window, including files stored in ~/Desktop, but not when directly operating on files displayed on the desktop.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Place a file on the desktop
2. Run a script on the file from with a file browser window pointed at ~/Desktop
3: Run the same script from the context menu available on the Desktop

Actual results:
When accessed from the file browser window it works properly.  When access from the desktop, some scripts put the output file(s) in the wrong place (~/), others don't work at all. I suspect there is a problem with the way $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI is getting set in this invocation.


Expected results:
Same script functionality when accessing script from within file browser window or on Desktop

Does this happen every time?
Yes. It happens with all scripts I have downloaded and tried to use.
