Thanks for looking into this.

I just tested it again, and realized that the correct path is passed as the
first parameter, even without the %u placeholder. During my initial testing, I
thought users would need to know that %u syntax to get the correct path, which
I did not know for quite some time.

So, then it is only really relevant for quick-and-dirty scripts which work
directly within the working directory.
And I guess, one could expect users to grab the directory in their scripts from
$1, if they want to use them in .desktop-files for processing directories.

My personal intuition would still be to fix it, just to eradicate the
possibility of unexpected behavior, but I understand that this is a breaking
change for whoever might be relying on this unusual behavior.
