Re: [gcmd-usr] Passing multiple file pathes to shell scripts

[Uwe Scholz]

Hi Michael,

this behavior actually changed in the release for version 1.14.0.
(Unfortunately, this was missed being documented in the release notes).

Could you try to change your script execution by passing "%f" to it
instead of "%u"? I think this should return the old behavior which you
exptected.

Excerpt from the Gcmd Documentation:

String expansion - String Expands to...
%f      File name (or list for multiple selections)
%F      Quoted filename (or list for multiple selections)
%p      Full file system path (or list for multiple selections)
%P      Quoted full file system path (or list for multiple selections)
%s      Synonym for %P (for compatibility with previous versions of GNOME 
Commander)
%u      Fully qualified URI for the file (or list for multiple selections)
%d      Full path to the directory containing file
%D      Quoted full path to the directory containing file
%%      Percent sign

(Fixed in version 1.14.0)

Best
Uwe
