Hi
I am the Nautilus-Actions maintainer.
I've finally found a case where an action may not be fully loaded in NACT. But as it is not really what is described here, I'm coming to get some more informations.

The case I've found is: when an action has been initially imported via a schemas file, which was the N-A historical import/export format, then only the fields which have been modified after this initial import are actually stored as GConf values under /apps. Unmodified fields are only stored as default values of schemas.
But: these actions are actually found by N-A, and NACT tries to display them. One can verify this because there is several (blank) lines in the left list, and one is able to go up/down..

I will of course fix this bug, but I'm not sure it is the one you have found ?

@Doug: sorry, I'm not able to reproduce the case you describe. All valid actions I create/modify under NACT are displayed in Nautilus context menu. See http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=157723 for a screenshot.
It may help you provide a "gconftool-2 --dump /apps/nautilus-actions" dump of your configuration in order to debug this issue.

Are you conscious that only 'valid' actions can be candidate to be displayed in the Nautilus context menu ? This means there is a non empty label, and at least one valid profile. A valid profile must have an existing command addressed by a full path.

@Sebastian: there is nothing like a custom "Selecting the target folder" dialog. This is the standard GtkFileChooser class. See http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus-actions/tree/src/nact/nact-assistant-export.c.
