I think that what he wants is for it to work like this:
Giver <dir> and <command>
cd <dir>
<command>
with the "Exec" in a desktop file.
You should be able to use:
cd <dir>; <command>
The specification:
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-entry-spec/0.9.4-onehtml/
says that you can use:
Path=<dir>
but it doesn't appear to work.
Then the second question is: how does he get the directory.
