[Bug 95519] Re: Nautilus-scripts don't handle blanks in filenames properly
Sorry for digging up an old thread here but I see this as a bug. Reece has a point there, the paths are seporated by new line not a good idea if that's a valid character for directory or file name. If this is fixed with the \0 seporator than all scripts depending on \n would be broken. if Doug would echo the variable with the -e option it would come out ok. I had made a script checking the variable but just dumped env (env ~/myvars.txt) Just posted here to get an email update so I know when and if this is fixed to update my scripts.

[Bug 95519] Re: Nautilus-scripts don't handle blanks in filenames properly
One way to solve your problem is to set IFS to explicitly cause files to
be split on newlines, as below. For an explanation of how this works,
see the bash man page. Similar functionality exists in sh and zsh (and
probably the csh-derived shells as well).
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
for file in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
do
zenity --info --text $(md5sum $file)
done
Although quoting in shell scripts is frustrating and obtuse, the
behavior you experienced is not a bug. I recommend closing as not-a-bug.
The only misfeature here is that \n is technically legal in filenames;
\0 would have been preferable.
I can't resist. Here's a great way to impress people at dinner parties and wow
chicks:
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
zenity --list --column md5 --column file $(find
${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS} -type f -print0 | xargs -0r md5sum |
perl -pe 's/^(\S+)\s\s/$1\n/')
