1. title Nautilus Scripts Howto

<<Include(Tag/ContentCleanup)>> <<Anchor(Top)>> The Nautilus file manager is extensible through the use of scripts.

Introduction

Purpose

With scripts you can do many things such as :

• make an enhanced "open with"-alike feature (open some files that match a filter in your preferred application)
• make a zip of a directory and mail it
• open a terminal in the selected directory
• ...

all of this with a simple right click. [[UbuntuHelp:[Top|Back to top]]]

Managing Nautilus scripts

All of your scripts are stored in the `nautilus-scripts` folder - so to add a new script, simply place it there. You can find the `nautilus-scripts` folder here:

     ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts

Adding scripts

• Open a text editor, copy/paste them into it, and save the script in your `nautilus-scripts` folder
• name them accordingly to the label you want in the right-click context menu
• make them executable (`chmod +x my_script_name`, or right-click on the script, select properties, then permissions, and give allow it to be executable)

That's it! {i} You will not have a `File->Scripts` nor see a `Scripts` entry in the context menu until you first add files there

Removing scripts

Simply remove them from the `nautilus-scripts` folder.

Setting rights to your scripts

You may need to run some scripts as a root user. This is generally a bad idea, unless you know what you are doing. Setting appropriate rights can be done thanks to the `chmod` command. CAUTION- you might want to set the preferences in Nautilus/Gedit/Whatever_else_you_are_opening_as_root so as to let you know instantly whether or not you are currently in the root-application. i.e. a yellow background in root-gedit and nautilus, instead of the normal white....

Scripting

What is a script ?

Scripts can be

• binaries (compiled programs)
• shell scripts (bash, sh ...)
• ...

that is to say basically anything that can be run [[UbuntuHelp:[Top|Back to top]]]

Environment variables

Whenever a script is called, Nautilus sets some variables that can be used in your scripts. These are:

• `NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS`

newline-delimited paths for selected files (only if local)

• `NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS`

newline-delimited URIs for selected files

• `NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI`

current location

• `NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_WINDOW_GEOMETRY`

position and size of current window [[UbuntuHelp:[Top|Back to top]]]
