Funny that you said that - cause I had already implemented that over the
weekend in my Nautilus Plus version. I didn't add it to edit menu though
cuz I thought it functions better in the selection context menu on a
folder.

Do you want me to release a patch for the standard Nautilus version and
would it be acceptable? 

(I only ask cause they get funny about adding extra items to the context
menus and its quite tricky producing the patch from my heavily modified
Nautilus Plus so I would like to know upfront)

jamie.
