Adding a menu option to the context menu

[papillion]

Hello Everyone,

Is there a way to add a menu entry to the context menu? For example, when a user right clicks on a file (or folder) I want to show a menu option to interact with my program. I'm not using C/C++ so I don't need code but function names or a point in the right direct would help.

Thanks!
Anthony

If you use Nautilus, you can use nautilus-actions.

Nautilus is installed on 10,04+ by default, right? So I should be able to safely assume it's there for the most part (of course, aways check)?

Is Nautilus the only way?

Nautilus has been installed by default since the dawn of Ubuntu. ;) It is the default file manager in Gnome, so when you say "when a user right clicks on a file", that's most probably in Nautilus (unless you're talking about Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc.).
