Patch proposal for a fix

If I drag and drop a URL from the address bar of Firefox to a folder in Thunar there will be an error message and the .desktop file won't be created. I get this message: “Failed to create a link for the URL [URL]. To Directory »file:///a_file« (file or directory not found) couldn’t be changed”. Attached you can find a patch proposal. To get it working I only changed the format of the working directory from URI to /path/to/file. What do you think?
