HOWTO: Custom commands in nautilus (TB Attachment example)

[KillerKiwi]

can this do anything that nautilus-scripts can't, or is it just a pretty face for the same thing?

It is a nicer nautiles-scripts yes, also it only displays items that are relevnet so you dont try and mount a odt file instead of an iso.

Another example, I use this to play folders of media files in totem.

Label: Play...
Path: totem
Parameters: %M
File Patterns: *
Show for folders only

I got the following message when i entered nautilus -q

(nautilus:16049): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_add_group: assertion `g_key_file_lookup_group_node (key_file, group_name) == NULL' failed

(nautilus:16049): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_add_group: assertion `g_key_file_lookup_group_node (key_file, group_name) == NULL' failed

(nautilus:16049): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_add_group: assertion `g_key_file_lookup_group_node (key_file, group_name) == NULL' failed

(nautilus:16049): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_add_group: assertion `g_key_file_lookup_group_node (key_file, group_name) == NULL' failed

It then opened nautilus. I right clicked a file and selected send to and didn't see any entry for thunderbird. Any idea?

[joergenlie]

This works almost fine. If I mark several items that i want to send in the same mail, I don't get the TB sendto option when I right click? The option only appears when I try to send one file.

Any suggestions?

I looked around and found a way to have it works also if thunderbird is already running (it didn't worked for me in that case..)

here is the script to call instead of mozilla-thunderbird and then you just have to put "%u" as action parameter:

#!/bin/sh

res=`ps xc | grep -c mozilla-thunder`
if [ $res -gt 0 ]; then

        exec mozilla-thunderbird -remote "xfeDoCommand(ComposeMessage,attachment=$1)"

else

        exec mozilla-thunderbird -compose "attachment=$1"

fi

bye,
Giovanni.

p.s.

foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`

sudo mkdir /media/"$*"

if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$*" /media/"$*"
then
if zenity --question --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$* Successfully Mounted.

Open Volume?"

nautilus /media/"$*" --no-desktop

sudo rmdir /media/"$*"
zenity --error --title "ISO Mounter" --text "Kan niet mounten $*!"

i want to make a menubutton so gxine loads the subtitle of an avi.
it works when i give in the terminal this:
gxine file:///home/michiel/file#subtitle:/home/michiel/file.srt

when i make a script it also works,
but when i want to do it with nautilus actions, it loads the avi, but not the subtitle.
i tried to add the script to nautilus actions, but again he loads the avi, not the srt.

Is there a way to make THIS script work is Nautilus Actions? Its a mount/unmount .iso script.
