[SOLVED] Thunar custom actions variable guide

This is a followup to my earlier post regarding custom actions in Thunar. After going through the guides at XFCe website and also at Ubuntu Website, I observed that there are multiple placeholder variables like %f, %F that are used.

But I could not locate a guide which explains these variables, i.e. %f and %F. Also I could not locate a guide which lists out all the other such variables/place holders that are available with Thunar. Is there some documentation available? Or can someone please list out all the possible variables like %f and %F that can be used?
