I don't think $PWD is defined in this context, though you could create a script, foo.sh, that does the heavy lifting, and save the values returned by `env` to check for sure. Exec=/usr/bin/foo.sh %F where /usr/bin/foo.sh contains something like #!/bin/bash # check env values for later perusal env > /tmp/foo.env convert $1 `kdialog --title "save PDF" --getsavefilename $PWD/join.pdf` -- Rex -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
