GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 487019
nautilus-actions (v1.4.1) not working with Nautilus 2.20.0
Last modified: 2009-05-01 10:56:30 UTC
Please describe the problem: I defined an action in nautilus-actions configuration in the correct format. When I right-click on a file, the action does not appear in the menu as expected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Using nautilus 2.20 (and gnome 2.20), create a new action. I specified an action on jpeg files as an example. 2. Save and shut-down / restart nautilus. 3. Select an appropriate file and right-click. Actual results: The action does not appear on the menu. Expected results: The item should appear. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: This could be a 1d10t error. Can someone verify that they see the same thing?
Confirmed on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy release
Sorry, but I've just tested it on an ubuntu Gutsy with nautilus 2.20 and nautilus-actions 1.4.1 delivrered by apt-get and it works fine for me. I've created an action called test which open a gnome-terminal (tested with gedit too) when right clicking on *.jpg files. Did you use the 1.4.1 version ? Did you compile it yourself or use a package from an official repository ? Could you please export your action and attached it to this bug so I can check what's going wrong with your config ? You can also try to import this action (http://www.grumz.net/node/218) to check if its works well or not. Notice that now there is no need to restart nautilus anymore. I've made include a patch in Nautilus since 2.14 to make it refresh its menu with a call to a special function in its API and N-A calls it every time you make a change using the GUI. Thanks in advance for your feedback
Created attachment 98698 [details] Example nautilus-actions configuration that does not work for me.
Frederic: So I have seen the light and have switched from Debian (unstable) to Ubuntu Gutsy. Very nice. I installed nautilus actions 1.4.1 from the official Ubuntu Gutsy repository. I still cannot get the actions to work for me. I have imported the action you provided and it does not appear on the right-click menu. I tried to create one myself, and no luck. The only special configuration I did for nautilus was to enable single click instead of double click. Cheers, Gerald
Frederic: I put my laptop on standby and then restarted this morning, and now everything works as expected. I have tested by configuring some new actions and all is as I expect. Perhaps something to do with nautilus not picking up the changes right away? Perhaps an initial case scenario, i.e. I had no actions defined and then defined the first one (which did not get picked up right away), and after it did get picked up after the laptop resume, all addition actions were picked up right away? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Cheers, Gerald

In order to try to better track this sort of problem, I plan to add to nautilus-actions a special debug function. A priori, depending on a special environment variable, nautilus-actions could log more or less of its actions. To be seen in a next release... For now I close the bug as it refers to an old version.
