Custom actions don't work.

When a trigger is activated, the desired custom action isn't run. My goal is to run a Python script when a folder has changes. This script is never run. I tried running from a batch script, and from an .exe compiled from the Python script. Neither is run, and both are confirmed to work through direct execution.

I really wish I had time to take belvedere further but I don't. @adampash told me (on twitter if I recall correctly) he pretty much abandoned it a while ago though he's more then happy to get pull requests.

Hygeia also hasn't been updated for years, but custom actions work.
