[SOLVED] help with a quick nautilus script

[fontenot_1031]

I want to create a quick script that will render all of my .tex files with pdflatex, I know that I can used the variable $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI
to select the current folder I'm in. But what variable would I use to describe the file the script is being applied (the file I right clicked on to get to the nautilus scripts list)?

How do you mean put the script?

Oops, I meant is there a variable that describes what file I right clicked on to get the nautilus scripts thing? Edited the last post. Thanks for catching that.

After some playing, it seems that $1 (the first passed argument) is the file that was right clicked.

you could also do:


for file in $(ls); do
some stuff
done


to convert every file in the current directory.

Hope this helps.
