Project : Nautilus Actions

If you want to download it with wget, please use the mirror link instead. This link is also available on the Download page.

First, thanks for supporting Nautilus-actions in your project. I have added a link to it in my External Resources page.

Concerning your first question, I suggest that you have a look at my old code from V0.99, where I was installing a "Manage Actions" actions to start Nact from any popup menu, on the project's CVS repository. Check also the configure.in, you need at least these lines :

dnl **** GConf support ***
AC_PATH_PROG(GCONFTOOL, gconftool-2)
AM_GCONF_SOURCE_2

You can also look at this page, particularly the section named "Application developer information".

Concerning the second point, this problem should be fixed since V0.6. Since then, all path are quoted using g_shell_quote() glib function. So your program should receive in its argument array all the path correctly separated unless you use a wrapper script before which doesn't re-quote all the arguments it receives.

Example :

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/my_prog $*

Instead, you should do something like this :

#!/bin/sh

arglist="'$1'"
while shift; do
        arglist="$arglist '$1'"
done

/usr/bin/my_prog $arglist

Thanks !

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm afraid there is no chance for its inclusion in Gnome 2.16, because I didn't ask for it this time. This is mainly because I didn't solve all the problems raised when I proposed it for 2.14. But maybe one day... who knows ? ;)

It seems that your distribution compile the python script during the build process.

simply add the two files in the files section of the config package :

%files config
%defattr(-,root,root)
%dir /usr/share/nautilus-actions/nact
/usr/share/nautilus-actions/nact/nautilus-actions-config.pyc
/usr/share/nautilus-actions/nact/nautilus-actions-config.pyo
[...]

The spec is not in the tarball because it is a specialized spec for fedora and it will not work everywhere as you need consolehelper support and some additional config files that are packaged with the rpms to add this support. I can try to add a generic one in the tarball, but maybe it will confuse users...
