Description Konstantin Riabitsev 2002-01-17 20:09:34 UTC 
We use Nautilus in the department and having a way to install some scripts
globally would be a goodness. Judging from the source, this is currently
not available -- the only thing supported is ~/.gnome/nautilus-scripts.
Setting them up in skel dirs is not suitable, as we have users who have had
their home directories since the dawn of times. I think having a global
scripts dir would be a good enhancement to Nau.

Good idea.

If i'm the last one on earth who uses Nautilus-scripts:

If i implement "global scrips" and make a patch for it, are you willing to
commit it?

cheers

Comment 10 Siegfried Gevatter (RainCT) 2008-11-22 21:11:40 UTC 
Isn't there already /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/ for this? Scripts packages in Ubuntu are installed there and work fine (though perhaps there's something I'm overseeing).
Comment 11 A. Walton 2008-11-22 21:14:00 UTC 
Extensions are not scripts, and globally installed scripts should not go into the extension directory. They should have their own folder under /usr/lib/nautilus/.
Comment 12 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:17:06 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
