    How to add "Open terminal" and "Open As Root" in Nautilus (AKA Files)

    [EDIT]

    Thanks to georgelappies ¨Open terminal¨ is simply solved by:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal && nautilus -q
    I guess the second one needs Nautillus-Actions Configuration Tool.

    Add in the Action tab the following:

    Context label:
    Code:
    Open as root
    Then go to tab Command tab and add:

    Label:
    Code:
    Open as root
    Path:
    Code:
    gksudo
    Parameters:
    Code:
    "nautilus --browser %U"
    After building it you have to restarting nautilus by typing
    Code:
    nautilus -q
    in the terminal.

    Iḿ still not done yet as I would like to add a red backround after an "open as root" to distuinguish it from normal nautilus, but I don know how,
    does anyone?

    To have the option 'Open Terminal' you have to first run:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
    Then reboot the machine.
