Bug description

When double-clicking a Python file, it is run with the Home directory as its CWD, regardless of the location of the file. This causes issues when the file is bundled with several other assets

Steps to reproduce

Create a Python file that prints the current working directory, or opens a file relative to itself. Run it.

Expected behavior

The current working directory of a file explorer should be the currently open directory.

Additional information

A GUI file manager doesn't have a CWD. Perhaps by "file explorer" you are thinking of a Microsoft creation?

You could easily arrange for the file manager to pass the directory as a parameter to a nemo action or script that executes your program.
Or just run your program from the CLI.

A GUI file manager totally has a CWD though? It's the current working directory. The directory you currently work in, aka have open. So it should be passed to programs you start accordingly. What else would the CWD be set to, reasonably?

Sure, there's cli workarounds. But the point of having a file manager is kinda that you don't need to use CLI to interact with your files. If it's okay, I can absolutely add this myself, I'm fairly proficient in C. It just seems like a behavior that would be fundamentally expected of a file manager.
