This doesn't seem to work properly on Debian 11, Gnome 43.6, Wayland. The elevated prompt authentication window prompt comes up but after entering the credentials the terminal won't open.

You are right - running it from a terminal gives...

Error constructing proxy for

org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)

Wayland, apparently, fulfills SOME DBus needs and so DBus doesn't get installed by default (see here for the lowdown - https://blogs.kde.org/2020/10/11/linux-desktop-shell-ipc-wayland-vs-d-bus-and-lack-agreement-when-use-them ).

Anyway, you can make this work by installing dbus-x11.

I'll add this to the Wiki.

Thanks for using actions-for-nautilus

Bingo Switching from Debian 11 to Debian 12 was such let down as far as Nautilus is concerned. Your actions add excellent value to extend its usability. Thank you for that!
