This regression is still there in Ubuntu 16.04 / Gnome Files 3.14.3. While it still works as expected in Nemo.

When right clicking in a directory the "scripts" option does not appear unless a file is chosen first. In past versions of Ubuntu the "Scripts" context menu option would appear when one or more scripts were executable in the proper location. Now, the "Scripts" context menu option only appears if the scriptsis executable, in the proper location AND the user chooses a file or directory before right click. The "Scripts" context menu option cannot be used "in" a directory now, but must be preformed "on" a file. This is counter-intuitive for operations like "Open foo here..." or "Browse as root..." since those are "in" operations, not "on" operations. I do understand the new location is ~/local/share/nautilus/scripts and they must be executable.
