Nautilus-actions

We need you !

Submitted by peio on Sun, 2009-10-25 20:24. Nautilus-actions

Yes, you can help Nautilus-Actions.

Latest 2.30.0 version let the user freely display or not toolbars.

But toolbars only contains items which have a icon, because :

  1. a toolbar item without an icon is a bit sad ; more, it is incompatible with Gnome HIG
  2. I am a very bad icon designer

You can help us by designing some icons for menu items which don't have one yet.

Each new item with an icon means a new item available in its toolbar.

With enough available items, we will add a user preference to let the user exactly choose which item he/she wishes see in its toolbars.

Your work will be of course copyrighted (see About box, Artists tab), but you have to put it under one free licence (CC is the most common for this type of work).

Thanks in advance for all the community users.

Nautilus Actions : What's this ?

Submitted by GrumZ on Sat, 2005-08-27 21:04. What's this ?

Note: Updated for version 0.99.

Presentation

Nautilus-actions is an extensions for nautilus which allow to add arbitrary program to launch through the nautilus popup menu of selected files.

Each time you right-click on one or several selected files in nautilus, nautilus-actions will look at its configured actions to see if a program has been setup for this selection. If it is the case, it will add an item in the menu that allow you to execute the program on the selected files.

This extentions is highly inspired from nautilus-sendto extentions from Roberto Majadas.

Nautilus-actions is released under the GPL License

Features

The aim of Nautilus-actions is to be very flexible and to adapt to the most common situation.

Nautilus-actions doesn't provide any config by default except an item to configure your actions. Its configuration is stored into GConf since v0.99, so it offers the possibility for other software that manage files to add their configs into the Nautilus-actions GConf entry and automagically integrates smoothly to nautilus without any additional code. It is also possible to import a foreign config, downloaded over the Net for example, into Nautilus-actions throught NACT, its configuration tool.

The config has three main parts :

The item menu configuration
This part define the label, the tooltip and the icon of the Nautilus' menu item when it appears
The command configuration
In this part, you define the command to launch (eg. /usr/bin/gnome-terminal) and the parameters. In the parameters, you have the possibility to add informations from Nautilus throught the use of simple tokens (eg. %f add the currently selected file, %d the current directory, etc.)
The selection test configuration
This is the most important part. This is a series of test that will be used on the selected files to determine if the menu item should appear or not. You can define a file pattern to match the selected files with jokers *?. You can defines if you want only files, only folders or both. You can define if you want to launch your program on local files, FTP files, SSH files, etc.

The config files can be stored in an GConf schemas description file easily generated with the "Export" option of NACT so you can easily shared them with your friends. NACT is the the GUI that allow you to create very easily any kind of custom actions. You can see what it looks like in the Screenshots section.
