  <title>What action should be executed ?</title>
  <para>
    You most probably want that your action eventually ends up in
    executing something. And, as a matter of fact, having something
    to execute is one of the few conditions which are required
    for an action to be considered as valid.
  </para>
  <para>
    As we have already seen, the command to be executed is configured
      
    in the <guilabel>Command</guilabel> page.
  </para>
  <para>
    This command may take arguments, which themselves may embed
    parameters. These parameters will be expanded at runtime,
    with values which will depend on currently selected item(s).
  </para>

        The <guibutton>Legend</guibutton> button has a toggling action:
        
        click once to display the <guilabel>Parameter Legend</guilabel>
        dialog box; click a second time to hide it.

    <note>
      <para>
        
        The word &#171;&#160;<guilabel>first</guilabel>&#160;&#187; may be
        misleading as it only refers to the list of selected items
        internally provided by the file manager to the <productname>Caja-Actions</productname> plugin.
      </para>
      <para>
        In particular, it has <emphasis>nothing to do</emphasis> with
        the visual selection you may have done in the file manager window.
        
        And, in fact, which is the &#171;&#160;<guilabel>first</guilabel>&#160;&#187;
        selected item in a multiple selection is absolutely undefined
        and rather unpredictable.

<sect3 id="usage-execution-work">
    <title>Where the action should it be executed ?</title>
    <para>
      Your action may be executed in a particular working directory.
    </para>
    <para>
      
      You may specify it in the <guilabel>Command</guilabel> tab, in the
      
      <guilabel>Working directory</guilabel> entry box, or by clicking
      
      on <guibutton>Browse</guibutton> to select a folder on the

      The working directory defaults to <literal>%d</literal>, which
      runs the command in the base directory of the (first) selected
      item.

    <para>
      In the particular case of the <literal>%d</literal> parameter,
      
      the &#171;&#160;<guilabel>first</guilabel>&#160;&#187; selected item
      is not very important because it is very likely that all selected
      items are located in the same base directory.

        <para>
          Say the current folder is <filename>/data</filename>,
          and the current selection contains the three files
          <filename>pierre</filename>, <filename>paul</filename>
          and <filename>jacques</filename>.
        </para>
        <formalpara>
          <title>
            If we have requested <command>echo %b</command>,
          </title>
          <para>
            then the following commands will be successively run:

          <member><command>echo jacques</command></member>
        </simplelist>
        <para>
          This is because <literal>%b</literal> marks a <emphasis>singular</emphasis>
          parameter. The command is then run once for each of the selected items.
        </para>
        <formalpara>
          <title>
            Contrarily, if we have requested <command>echo %B</command>,
          </title>
          <para>
            then the following command will be run:
          </para>
        </formalpara>
        <simplelist>
          <member><command>echo pierre paul jacques</command></member>
        </simplelist>
        <para>
          This is because <literal>%B</literal> marks a <emphasis>plural</emphasis>
          parameter. The command is then run only once, with the list of selected
          items as arguments.
        </para>
        <formalpara>
          <title>
            If we have requested <command>echo %b %B</command>,
          </title>
          <para>
            then the following commands will be successively run:
          </para>
        </formalpara>
        <simplelist>
          <member><command>echo pierre pierre paul jacques</command></member>

          <member><command>echo jacques pierre paul jacques</command></member>
        </simplelist>
        <para>
          This is because the first <emphasis>relevant</emphasis> parameter
          is <literal>%b</literal>, and so the command is run once for each
          selected item, replacing at each occurrence the <literal>%b</literal>
          parameter with the corresponding item. The second parameter is
          computed and added as arguments to the executed command.
        </para>
        <formalpara>
          <title>
            And if we have requested <literal>echo %B %b</literal>,
          </title>
          <para>
            then the following commands will be run:
          </para>
        </formalpara>
        <simplelist>
          <member><command>echo pierre paul jacques pierre</command></member>
        </simplelist>
        <para>
          This is because the first <emphasis>relevant</emphasis>
          parameter here is <literal>%B</literal>. The command is then
          run only once, replacing <literal>%B</literal> with the
          space-separated list of basenames. As the command is only run
          once, the <literal>%b</literal> is substituted only once with
          the (first) basename.
