Description Sense Hofstede 2010-04-29 20:07:16 UTC 
When you want to e.g. create an action that launches GNOME Search Tool for the selected folder you could set the following details:
Path: /usr/bin/gnome-search-tool
Parameters: --path=%M

If you set the conditions correctly this should make an action appear in the context menus of directories that you can use to easily search the contents of the directory with use of GNOME Search Tool.

However, when you press the context menu entry it turns out that the --path argument doesn't do anything. This is strange because it does work if you execute the command with a path manually.

It seems that %M doesn't work.
