Re: HOWTO: Custom commands in nautilus (TB Attachment example)

the only feature that this editor lacks is the ability to edit right click menus in nautilus when NO files or folder are selected.
I have added a feature request on the app's homepage and if this is implemented, it will make it a complete menu editor for nautilus and I will personally see to it that this gets into ubuntu universe.

Thanks for your initiative.

Yes, implementing this feature would be fantastic, and it shouldn't be too difficult either.

Re: HOWTO: Custom commands in nautilus (TB Attachment example)

Here's a setting to open files/folders as root. It works so much more conveniently than the nautilus script I was using.

Label: Sudo...
Tooltip: Open with root privelages
Path: gnome-sudo
Parameters: "gnome-open %u" (be sure to put in the quotes)
File Pattern: *
Appears if selection contains: both
Don't check multiple files or files option (if anyone has an idea on how to make that work let me know)
Check these in scheme list: file, sftp
