nautilus-actions

I wanted to create an option in the context menu to set the clicked picture to current desktop background (just like in Windows).
I read the the nautilus action help but I couldn't figure it out. This is by far the command I could craft: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file://$PWD/

What I need:

A command that correctly sets the current image to be the desktop background
This command should only appear to the proper files (picture extenstions like .jpg)
