I see. I just checked, and that one also works fine here.

The problem occurs with the desktop files nautilus uses to open files. In
particular, what I want is to open text files using
gvim -c "cd %:h" <file>
What I do is this:
- Right click on a text file.
- Select "Open with other application".
- In the resulting dialog, select "Use a custom command".
- Type
gvim -c "cd %%:h" %f
- Click "Open"
- Gvim appears, with the error message:
Error detected while processing command line:
E344: Can't find directory ":h" in cdpath
E472: Command failed
Typing
gvim -c "cd %:h" whatever.txt
on the command line works fine.
(AFAICS, the handling of mime types is done in
libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-mime-handlers.c, in the function expand_macro,
starting at line 1449. Inspecting the code shows that %% is ignored there,
instead of converted to %)
