Description:

This script tests the selected 7z archive for integrity to ensure that the archive doesn't contain errors. After clicking on this action, a zenity window will pop up and show the results (you may have to scroll down to the bottom of the window). Keep in mind that the larger the archive, the longer the results will take to show up in the window (which appears quickly). Unfortunately, this script can only test one 7z archive at a time; however, it *does* provide the convenience of two-click testing.

Description:

This action will create a 7z archive from the selected files, named after the first selected file. Be aware that if you subsequently make another 7z archive with the same name in the same directory, the first archive will be overwritten. This action is mostly used in response to File-Roller's bug #150373, although you may find use for it if you don't have File-Roller installed as well.

As usual, you assume all risk by using this action. I have been using it successfully for a couple of months, so there shouldn't be any problems, but then again, my working habits may have not exposed problems you may encounter.

This converts flv files,eg from youtube, to 640x480 avi files, by using ffmpeg to convert them.
There is no progress report, but as with most video conversion it can take a while depending on video length and speed of computer.
You will be left with the original name.flv file and a new name.flv.avi file in the same directory as the original.

Description:

Ex Falso is a tool that comes bundled with the Quod Libet audio player (Quod Libet requires Ex Falso, but Ex Falso does not require Quod Libet, so if you just want a tag editor just install Ex Falso). It's a powerful tool and it's quite usable. Only problem is launching Ex Falso outside of Quod Libet means you have to worm your way through your filesystem as displayed in Ex Falso, which is slow. Using Nautilus to launch Ex Falso in the current directory is much better.

There already is a nautilus action called Open in Ex Falso, but the action is shown whenever a directory is selected. I just modified it a bit so that the action would show up when one or several audio files are selected. So when you're not dealing with audio files, you're not bothered by this action.

Description:

About this action: this action is available when a single or multiple PNG files (with a .png extension) are selected. It will create a modified copy of the PNG file(s) in a directory named “pngcrushed” within the same directory:

original-file1.png
original-file2.png
pngcrushed/original-file1.png
pngcrushed/original-file2.png

More information on the page for the similar single-file action.

Description:

About this action: this action is available when a single PNG file (with a .png extension) is selected. It will create a modified copy of the PNG file in the same directory:

original-file.png
original-file.png-2

The generated file will be “crushed” (reduced filesize in most cases), and will not have any color management information such as Gamma correction or color profile information. Apart from the loss of color management information, the image will not be degraded in any way. Software which don't try to use color management information will render the image exactly as it was before.

This action might be useful for webdevelopers: some web browsers, especially Safari on OS X, try to use color management information to render PNG files in web pages. This may lead to color inconsistencies where a #ff8800 CSS color and a #ff8800 PNG color don't match!
You WANT to avoid this and to favour color consistency, since color management is badly implemented anyway and not usable for web projects.

About PNGCRUSH:

Pngcrush is an optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files.
Its main purpose is to reduce the size of the PNG IDAT data stream by trying
various compression levels and PNG filter methods. It also can be used to
remove unwanted ancillary chunks, or to add certain chunks including gAMA,
tRNS, and textual chunks.

When you want to email foto's to someone it's not always a good idea to email the full size images. I find it strange that thunderbird has no option to resize the attached images, nor did I find an extention to do this. I did find many requests for such an extention, however.
The script here is very rough and could use lots of improvements, but it's already useful.

• It only sends a single image, no multiple selection.
• Problems with spaces in filenames.
• The thumbnail size is hard coded, this should be done by some simple dialog.
• It creates a folder in /tmp I don't know if that's a good idea

Description:

This action uses the "shred" command to make a delete a file and make it unrecoverable. It overwrites 10 times and then overwrites with all zeros to hide the shredded file.

NOTE!!!
If you use a journaling file system there are no guarantees that the file could not be recovered. Use at your own risk.

Description:

Display a dialog to choose the destination from your list of gtk bookmarks, and if your want to copy (default) or move the selection.

Note: For both cp and mv command, I used the parameter --reply=no to avoid overwriting if the destination files already exists, but on my distro (FC4) it seems that it doesn't work for the mv command but works well for cp. So be careful when you use the 'Move' option.

Description:

Convert svg to png. svg2png does not modify the file which you select, it creates a new file. It cannot convert a directory but you can select several files.

Convert an HTML page to Plucker format for viewing on a PDA. I created these because some pages require cookie-based logins, which does not work with current Plucker scripts; now I can just save the page and quickly create the required PDB file for my Palm.

For best results, use a site's "print" view if it has one. Also, in Firefox, saving as "Web page, HTML only" reduces cruft.

Description:

This nautilus-actions config file will allow you to get a "Diff with Meld" context menu entry whenever 2 or more plain text files are tselected.

Executing the command will send the files to Meld, a program which shows the differences between files in a graphical manner, which also allows merging the changes to the files.

The ability to see differences between files and to merge them is invaluable to programmers and system administrators, and can be very useful to other users as well. Now this can be done by simply right-clicking on the files to be diff'ed on Nautilus and choosing this action.

The config file is very simple, and can easily be modified to use some other graphical diff tool, such as k3diff, or to apply only to a certain type of files (at the moment, the MIME file type to which the config applies is simply set to text/*).

To Do:
------

The following is a list of things which need to be solved to make this config file more user-friendly. If anyone knows how to do them, comments or improvements will be greatly appreciated.

1. Although the "Appears if selection has multiple files or folders" is chosen on the "Conditions" tab, the "Diff with Meld" context menu entry will also show up when only one file is selected, which is pretty useless, since Meld won't diff a simple file. I'd like the action not to be shown when a single file is selected. I don't know whether this is a bug in n-a or just me failing to understand the purpose of the "Appears if selection has multiple files or folders" entry.

2. Since Meld can only take three "file" arguments, as in 'meld file1 file2 [file3]', it returns an error if more than 3 files are selected in Nautilus and the action is executed, since the names of all files in the selection are sent to Meld. I could not find a way to limit the number of files to be sent to the application. It would be nice to be able to tell the n-a action that only the 3 first selected filenames should be passed to the external application.

Description:

Display a dialog to choose the server name, user (default root) and the folder (default /tmp) where the selected files and folder should be copied to, using the "scp" command.

It will execute the following command :

scp -r %M $user@$server:$folder

Description:

This is a companion to Gnome's built-in 'Browse Folder'. It shows up when you right-click on the desktop, rather than on a folder.

Description:

Gnome seems to be integrating signing, encrypting, and archiving into the desktop, but I think checksums should be just as easy. This action will allow you to quickly and easily verify the checksums from a checksum file.

Since Gnome does not identify a mime-type for these files, as far as I can tell, this action requires that the checksum file be named appropriately as follows (case insensitive): {*}SUMS, where {*} can be SHA1, MD5, etc., as available.

Description:

Gnome seems to be integrating signing, encrypting, and archiving into the desktop, but I think checksums should be just as easy. This action will create an appropriately-named checksum file for you: {*}SUMS, where {*} can be SHA1, MD5, or CK. I guess you can add more hashing programs to the list if you like.

Description:

I would call this a hack, since it edits the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file directly; however, it works nicely for Gnome 2.14, at least.

Adds the selected file or directory to your bookmarks, if it's not there already. Bookmarks are then available in Nautilus' menu, where they can be further edited and removed. They also should appear at the top of your Desktop Places menu.

Description:
