## DESCRIPTION

**nautilus-actions** is an extension for the nautilus file manager which allows arbitrary programs to be launched through the nautilus context menu.

Each time you right-click on one or more files in nautilus, or any part of the background of the currently opened folder, **nautilus-actions** will look at its configured actions to see if a program has been setup for this selection. If so, it will add an item to the menu that allows you to execute the program on the selected files.

Configurations are stored in GConf for speed and integration with other GNOME programs. Configs can be easily shared using the "Import/Export assistant" menu items in the Tools menu of **nautilus-actions-config-tool** /.
