    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
