GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 147473
Scripts do not appear in context menu
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Problem: The scripts entry does not appear in the right-click context menu even though valid and executable scripts are placed in the ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ directory. Solution: If the ~/.gnome/ directory is deleted the scripts appear as they should. I have confirmed this on 2 installs, but on other installs the problem did not happen, so I cannot give steps to reproduce.
Works for me on Debian SID
Could be that you were suffering of bug 142496
I think this must be related to bug 142496 as I seem to remember asociating edit with shell scripts so they could be edited that way. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 142496 ***
