How to apply actions to multiple files

Rate this Message:
Hi folks,
I'd like to know how to apply a custom action to multiple selected files. In this case, I have photos from my camera, which need to be rotated manually if taken in portrait orientation (no builtin sensor). I tried the custom actions, but they don't seem to work if more than one file is selected. Is there a different way to do this?

(regular debian/ubuntu packages) (security cert autority, so you don't have to accept any exceptions) http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 (custom actions) https://secure.powercraft.nl/svn/packages/trunk/source/pct-thunar-scripts/pct-thunar-scripts-devel/ (installer) https://secure.powercraft.nl/svn/packages/trunk/source/pct-thunar-scripts-setup/pct-thunar-scripts-setup-0.0.20081208/ BTW a new release will be made very soon.

But it's useless, as it is not present in the context menu if I select more than one file. Or am I doing something wrong?

Or am I doing something wrong? remove the current custom action thunar -q to kill current thunar add custom action make use to use * as patterns en true for image file check thunar -q to kill the current thunar and restart and test the custom action.

I repeated this (actually, it was the same I tried before, without the thunar -q calls), but got the same result. The custom action is visible when 1 file is selected, but not visible if 2 files are selected, so it is useless for my task. At least I don't see the entry in the context menu.
