Help convert console command to right-click command

Question

I use this console command to automatically send all files in some directory to the JAR file, catch the output of that JAR file and finally create new files from the output. Here is the command

for i in `find . -type f -name '*xml'`; do java -jar "~/grabbertty.jar" $i > $i.txt; done  

Now, I know how to make nautilus-script which will be called via RightClick->Scripts.

What I do not know is how to convert this command to say "convert all files in currently selected directory". Currently selected directory is a directory where I right click.

Anyone can help. Thanks.

This should do the trick for you, comment if something weird comes up

#! /bin/bash
base="`echo $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI | cut -d'/' -f3- | sed 's/%20/ /g'`"
if [ -z "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" ]; then
     dir="$base"
else
     while [ ! -z "$1" -a ! -d "$base/$1" ]; do shift; done
     dir="$base/$1"
fi

for i in `find "$dir" -type f -name '*xml'`; do java -jar "~/grabbertty.jar" $i > $i.txt; done  

When you right click on a folder it should apply your find inside that folder, if you are not clicking on a folder it should apply your find inside the current folder.

Save it in your "$HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/<nameofthescript>.sh and make it executable with chmod 755 <nameofthescript>.sh.
