nautilus-actions that need parameters?

[Ross Vandegrift <ross kallisti us>]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping to be able to configure a nautilus-action item that would
take a parameter.  I have my portable music player and my music
library, and I'm copying from my library to my player.  Often times, I
want to update the files that are there, but would like to save the
time of recopying everything.  rsync is perfect for this job.

So I wrote a nautilus-action that can rsync to a fixed directory.  Is
there any way I can have it prompt the user for a targer when I choose
"rsync to..." from my menu?

Another alternative would be if I could drag a collection of files to
a target directory and have nautilus use rsync to do the copy, butit
seemed easier with nautilus-actions.

Any hints?

Please keep me CCed as I'm not subscribed, thanks!
