Nautilus-Actions 2.99.0 is out



Hi everybody,

We are pleased to announce the latest unstable release of Nautilus-Actions!
This is the first one of the future 3.0 serie.

What is it ?

    Nautilus-Actions is an extension for Nautilus file manager which
    allows to add arbitrary items to Nautilus context menus, menubar
    and toolbar.

What is new in this release ?

    This release includes major enhancements:

    It implements the .desktop file specifications as described at
    http://www.nautilus-actions.org/?q=node/377 ; this new storage
    format is shareable with most common willing-to desktop environments
    (KDE, XFCE, etc.)

    New properties have been implemented, both in GConf and .desktop files:
    . a description of the item
    . a suggested shortcut for both action and menu
    . profile may specify an execution mode
    . command may specify the user which should run it
    . the 'accept-multiple-files' flag is replaced with a count selector

    Conditions apply now both to actions, profiles and menus. They have
    been extended to include:
    . choose/refuse a particular target environment
    . specify a pre-requirement
    . only appears if a DBus service is registered
    . only appears if an external command displays "true"
    . only appears if a process is running
		  
    Most of conditions lists may have negated assertions: mimetypes,
    folders, schemes, basenames, capabilities.

    Each type of conditions has now its own tab in the Nautilus-Actions
    configuration tool user interface.

    New parameters have been introduced:

    - %b: (first) basename
    - %B: space-separated list of basenames (was %m)
    - %c: count of selected items
    - %D: space-separated list of base directory of each selected items
    - %F: space-separated list of selected file names (was %M)
    - %h: hostname of the (first) URI
    - %n: username of the (first) URI (was %U)
    - %U: space-separated list of selected URIs
    - %w: (first) basename without the extension
    - %W: space-separated list of basenames without their extension
    - %x: (first) extension
    - %X: space-separated list of extensions

    Renamed parameters (%m, %M and %U) are dynamically taken into
    account when Nautilus-Actions loads the action. They are 
    automatically updated at write/export time.

    - Fix #621410 reported by Bruno Guerreiro

    New and updated translations:

    - de (Mario Blättermann, Christian Kirbach)
    - es (Jorge González)
    - he (Yaron Shahrabani)
    - lt (Gintautas Miliauskas)
    - sl (Andrej Žnidaršič, Matej Urbančič)

    Note that this version may not be fully fonctional. In particular,
    Nautilus menu plugin may not yet honor all new conditions. However,
    and this is the main reason of this unstable release, the user
    interface should be fully functional.
	
    Note also that due to the renaming of some parameters, actions or menus
    created / updated with this version may not be compatible with previous,
    older, ones.
