File comparisons don't work over SMB protocol and across folders

[snovotill]

Please find attached my implementation of "Select Left" and "Compare" scripts which works across different folders and via Gnome's SMB pseudo paths. It would be great to have this working in your scripts. I had to rename the files to a .txt extension becuause GitHub is a Windows shop.
Compare.txt
SelectLeft.txt

Hi @snovotill. Thanks for your request.

I have fixed this in the last version. Could you test it again?

Hmm, I still get pop-up "You must select files or directories!" when I try to compare two files or two folders which are on a remote SMB share, via Scripts ‣ Directories and files ‣Compare with diff. On the other hand, the two script which I attached upon opening this ticket do work. I'm on Debian Trixie with Gnome-Wayland, but currently not quite Gnome 46 just yet. I'll debug this when Gnome 46 arrives, since the current Nautilus Scripts "API" is weirdly buggy. Until then, be well and stay relentless!

Hi @snovotill. Thanks for your feedback.

I have fixed this in the last version. Could you test it again (version 9.5.1)?

Now, I've tested on Debian Trixie with Gnome-Wayland using samba server (local and remote).

Okay maestro, It's working perfectly now! Thanks for sharing =)

On another topic, I've attached a script for deleting files out of a PDF in case you're interested.
Also a script which resizes images to some specific number of pixels, rather than to dimensions;
This is good when you have different aspect ratios (such as company logos) but you want them all to appear to be the same "size".

DeletePdfPages.sh.txt
ExtractPdfPages.sh.txt

Thanks for sharing the scripts.
About the scripts "DeletePdfPages.sh.txt" and "ExtractPdfPages.sh.txt" I use my scripts:

• Document PDF -> PDF combine, split -> Split into single-page PDFs
  and after:
• Document PDF -> PDF combine, split -> Combine multiple PDFs

You sure do! And those are two scripts which I did not have to write myself, along with MANY others☺ so thanks!
...aaaand if you implement the "select left" with "compare" (try the examples which I attached earlier) then you will have achieved GOD-level on the topic of Nautilus (and other) Scripts.
