HOWTO: Custom commands in nautilus (TB Attachment example)

[Omer]

nautilus-actions 0.99 has been released

* Support for stock icons and custom icons.
* More HIGification.

Get it here.

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.

Perhaps then you could include it in Automatix along with the "TB Send To" entry...

Open current or selected folder in Konqueror:

Label= Open In Konqueror
Tooltip= Opens the selected folder in Konqueror
Path= konqueror
Parameters= %M
File pattern= *
Appears if...= only folders
Appears if selection has...= False
Appears if scheme...= file (remote locations don't work)

I made one, but I can 't get it to work. It installs .deb's with a zenity progress thing and makes a log.

here it is:

Label: Install Deb
Tooltip: Install the selected Debian Package
Icon: /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png
Path: zenity --progress --pulsate --title "Please Wait" --text $"Installing %f" & && gksudo dpkg -i
Parameters: %M" > ~/install_log.txt && killall zenity
File Pattern: *.deb

If anybody could make it work that would be great. This would be possible by executing a script also.

Weird. I installed the new .deb after removing the old one. Added the Print, Search and TB attachment actions. Rebooted but I see nothing on right-click.

Very nice indeed, thanks to all!

Thanks a lot for this howto.

For the kmail folks like me, use:

Click "New Config"
Enter a Name: Kmail send to
Fill in label: Send attachment via kmail
Fill in Path: /usr/bin/kmail
Fill in Parameters: --attach "%u"
Fill in File Pattern: *

With the custom icon option, you can put your favorite kmail icon in the menu.

Have you edited with sudo? That didn't work for me either. You have to edit for your current user.

Hope this helps.

[MetalMusicAddict]

Ahh... You are a wise man.

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