Description Ade Malsasa Akbar 2012-05-19 03:26:31 UTC 
I want Nautilus can copy automatically folder named *_files when
I copy a *html file. 

People know if they save a webpage with Firefox
or another web browser, they get a html file and a folder named as
html name plus _files addition. Okay, this feature cuts my times, a lot of time,
so I only copy the htmls to another folders and automaticly Nautilus copies
the folders to my destination. It is very efficient for me especially
when Nautilus do not sort my items yet.

So:

1. There is a a.html file and a_files folder in Documents.
2. I copy a.html to Download. Just a.html.
3. I find in Downloads: a.html and a_files.

Yes a_files copied by Nautilus automaticly and I don't have to do it.
I don't know what the name of this feature. I am sorry if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

I think adding this kind of heuristic to a file manager is probably a bad idea. We don't want selection of files to become non-deterministic. There is something we've added that can help you find those files however. If you save a page to Zippy.html and then you open nautilus and search for "Zippy" you should see both Zippy.html and Zippy_files right there in view. Type Ctrl+A. Ctrl+C. And you are ready go to.
