Installing

Scripts

• The file manager includes a special folder where you can store your scripts. All executable files in this folder will appear in the Scripts menu. The script folder is located at $HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts. To install a script, simply copy the script to the script folder and give it the user executable permission.

Extensions

• To install Python extensions copy them either to $HOME/.nautilus/python-extensions or /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python-extensions. Make sure that nautilus-python (or python-nautilus on some systems) is installed.
• To install C extensions copy them to /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/.
