Re: How to get file parameters for a Nautilus Script while

["Peter Enseleit" <penseleit gmail com>]

Thanks Fred,

I figured out the info I need.

I just had to re-read the information on the web site and try it in a script for myself.

While Nautilus Scripts are not passed any parameters while browsing on a Remote Server, Nautilus still sets environment variables with a list of the selected files in URI format,  (NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS), the current location in URI format , (NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI), and the position and size of the current window, (NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_WINDOW_GEOMETRY)..

A fourth environemnt variable is  left empty on non-local operations: NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.

Any Nautilus Script can use these environment variables to do stuff with.

Thanks or your advice, though.

Nautilus-Actions are great!


Peter.

Maybe you could try to convert your nautilus script into a
nautilus-actions action [1]. You will have the possibility to have
contextual appearance of your script in the popup menu and all the
parameters you need will be available to your script even included the
hostname and login of the connection.

Feel free to contact me if you need more info about it.

Best regards,

Fred
