Nautilus-actions in action :


Nautilus Actions screenshot v0.99
The "Install RPMS" config in action into Nautilus applied on two files. You can see the tooltip displaying in the status bar of Nautilus. Note that if you use the "Open with..." option of Nautilus, it will start the program twice (once per selected files) but with Nautilus-actions, they will be launched together with the program.


More older screenshots are available here.


feature request

Really great work....I dont know if my feature request has already been requested/implemented...
1. The context menu of nautilus shows the nautilus-actions very low down. Can it be made to appear somewhere up, like with "Open with" menu. Or may be it should be made user input or something. That would be really cool.
2. The file matching pattern should support simple regular expressions. Currently it just supports ? and *. Say if i wanted my filename pattern to be case-insensitive, then i would have to try all the combinations of capital and small letters. e.g. my mp3 file could be Mp3, mP3, MP3 or mp3...

Anyways really great job.

Re: feature request

For the first request (1.), it is not possible at the moment because it is defined in Nautilus. As an extension, I just give Nautilus the list of menu items and all the rest is done inside Nautilus. So you need to send this request directly to Nautilus.

For the second request (2.), it has already been requested in the bugzilla database of Nautilus-actions (Bug #329260)

Thanks for the feedback !

feature request ...

Is there any way to make the menu items context sensitive so that they only show up when you right right-click on a specific type of file.

An example of the improvements it'd offer can be seen in one of the screenshots of the current version. Someone has righ-clicked on an rpm and there's a useless menu option of "edit in vim" alongside the useful ones relating to rpms.

As the number of actions grows the useless to useful ratio will quickly get to the point where it's no longer useful, which is why I think it's a very important feature to have before it goes into Gnome as an "offical" feature.

If the above was added then I'd regard it as fantastic, instead of thinking it quite good but flawed.

Re: feature request ...

In fact, the feature you are requesting is the core feature of Nautilus-actions but you're right, the "Edit with Gvim" should not appears here but it is just my screenshots that is broken. At the time of this screenshot, I had probably configured badly this action and so it appears where it shouldn't.

I'll try to update it as soon as possible...

Thanks for the remarks :)

nice :)

Got a question though.. I like the way we can put little icon besides the text.. Is there a way to make it happen with already existing items? (Such as the "Send to" for example)

thanks

PS: If you could also send me a quick email to tell me yes or no :) much appreciated.

Re: nice :)

It is possible in a way. In fact, Nautilus-actions is inspired from Nautilus-sendto extension. Nautilus-sendto, simply start a program named nautilus-sendto !! 8)

So, if you want an icon, you can simply remove /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libnautilus-sendto.so that generate the nautilus popup menu item and replace it with a nautilus-actions config that launch /usr/bin/nautilus-sendto with %M as parameters on '*' multiple files or folders.
Then define an icon for it and that's it !

Or you can ask the maintainer of Nautilus-sendto to put an icon either !
