Bug Description

Using pcmanfm 1.2.4

Steps to reproduce:

A custom action script that uses %d as a target.

Expected behaviour: The script runs in the directory that is current (as in the bar that displays the current directory)

Behaviour: The script runs one level up as can be seen if run by pcmanfm -d and followed the output.

Same here.
It looks like when it sees the current directory as "selected object", it treats 1 level above it as "working directory".

It appeared that this bug was actually invalid. It is the %f parameter that is submitted for the directory selection and %d gives, as expected, the parent directory of selection. So check what you actually want to achieve with passing the parameters to the custom action.
