Re: Nautilus 2.26 - nautilus-actions extension not working anymore

[Guillaume Tissier <tissierg free fr>]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks a lot for your support.

I never try to build nautilus 2.26 for now, it comes with ubuntu jaunty 
release with the related issue I have described before

Nautilus-action 1.41 build fine on gentoo, without the Makefile issue 
you have got and without any big deal in the ebuild (no patch or 
something), but with gnome 2.24 dependencies

By the way, your work creating nautilus extensions with python can be an 
usefull help for my purpose. If you can describe how you do that, 
exemples, howto... Considering that nautilus-action is not maintened 
anymore, finding a way to bypass it in my programs and have the same 
feature (creating item in the edit menu when selection match a specific 
pattern, and pass the selection as arguments for the script) will be a 
better way to do in the future.
I have a very long way before being a python guru, but the thing appears 
more easy than C to understand

Regards
