It works from bash script but when I entered that entire command into XFC "Configure Custom Action" menu: exec gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="$(basename "$1" .pdf)-join.pdf" "$@" %N I usually get the output file name as "-join.pdf" (no prefix name) and when I highlight the file name "-join.pdf" + another pdf file, it only includes one pdf file and it overrides the file name: "-join.pdf"
