As soon as I find the time and patience I'll file a couple of bug
reports for those other issues that I stumpled upon in the config tool.
For now I just want my Nautilus Actions back. I really miss them, they
used to make life so much easier!

For starters and just to give a few examples (admittedly off-topic), the
developer may want to have a closer look at the export assistant's
general usability. The initial dialog ("This assistant will guide you
...") is unnecessary. I found the custom "Selecting the target folder"
dialog quite confusing with all those panes and boxes. Something a
little closer to established standards would be preferable. The
following dialog, "Selecting the export format", will overwhelm any user
who is not deep into gconf internals. With a little playing around or,
even better, looking an average user over the shoulder while actually
using the export assistant it could be improved a lot.

Another minor issue that irritated me was that, on the "Folders" tab for
an action, there is by default a / (root directory) item which, when
removed, can't be added again to the list. When I click the Plus button,
I can select "File system" to add a file:/// folder (which may or may
not be the same thing as / in this context). If, on the other hand, I
enter / as a string into the Location field of the "Select a folder"
dialog and then click Open, an error message appears telling me that
"The folder could not be created" because the "file exists". Thankfully
it does indeed.

None of this, of course, has anything to do with the present bug report.
None of this is, by itself, a big enough problem to justify its own bug
report. Maybe if there was some kind of wishlist for Nautilus Actions,
I'd simply add them to that.
