Comment 4 for bug 1244221

In an attempt to help debug the problem(s) with little knowledge about the issues involved I started Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool and created a new Action named Compare (to simply compare -certain- selected files in meld) but it didn't appear in the context menu either.
Manually copying the file "Compare" which works under Ubuntu 13.04 to "~/.local/share/file-manager/actions" under Ubuntu 13.10 results in this Action showing up in Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool but still without effect.
Perhaps this is related with a bug in python-nautilus package?
