I'm not sure I know what lines you are referring to.
Remember that those lin I quoted work when I run it in a terminal.

Before I got home after work to read my mail I actually think I suddenly
knew what was wrong, but I didn't do any tests yet. I think it could be an
environment thing, just like you and C de-Avillez mentioned. The megals
command, and all the other MegaTools commands requires login and password.
To avoid hard coding that, I use the ~/.megarc file, and it lookd like this:

[Login]
Username = myname at address.com
Password = blahblahblahblahblah

The rights are set to rw- --- ---

Anyway, I suspect that megals doesn't read the ~/.megarc file when run from
Nautilus, so I probably only get an authorisation error, which I can not
see since there is no terminal… Maybe I can, and should, pipe it to yad (a
great Zenity fork that I use a lot).

I think I can specify the rc file when running the command. If not, I can
always use the --user and --password flags to enter it in the script (just
for testing). Other ideas are welcome, of course…

Maybe this isn't what is the problem at all, I'm only guessing here, but I
will find out… but right now I'm hungry…




Kind regards
