BUG: %f modifier not working correctly

I am somewhat of a newbie but I think there is a problem with %f.

I tried the command "on_movie_end echo %f" and I got this: %f /var/lib/motion/snapshots/03-20070922200029.avi

meaning it was passed with the text %f.

command (in motion.conf file):

on_movie_end echo %f

output:

%f /var/lib/motion/snapshots/03-20070922200029.avi

Environment

Motion version: 3.2.3
ffmpeg version:
Shared libraries: ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

Follow up

Fix record

Not A bug but rather a lack of documentation.
Version 3.2.3 uses the old version of the on_movie_end parameter scheme so the file name is appended in the end, for example:
on_movie_end echo
will output:
/var/lib/motion/snapshots/03-20070922200029.avi
