Would this work for what you want to do, georgeg4?

 

[all variants] Add Menu entry to right click to play file(s)/Folder with Right-Click (Ubuntu forums):

Add Menu entry to right click to play file(s)/Folder with Right-Click

Add Menu entry to right click to play file(s)/Folder with Right-Click

 

How many times you wished to simply right-click a file/folder and select to play the media with mplayer on the terminal. Well I do often and I was tired to open the terminal , copy the name ,type mplayer., paste name…. press enter..

Actually Bambi what I want is to be able to right click on an object and send it to its particular folder I.E. Pictures, Documents ETC. I know I can move the folders to my desktop but I prefer to keep them inside my Home folder

How about a SendTo menu?

“Send To” script for Nautilus in Ubuntu:

So for all those people who have always been Windows users and now want to move to Linux, there are some things which we miss a lot in Linux or want in Linux.

 

The “Send To” menu is one of them. I used to miss it a lot as well, but not anymore. I wrote a Nautilus Script to add the “Send To” menu to my Nautilus right click menu.

 

Here’s the steps to get your own custom “Send To” menu item in Nautilus :

 

First of all move to the following folder

 

#cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts

 

Then create a file in this folder and name the file whatever you want your menu item to be

 

#touch “Send To”

 

Add the execute permission for this file

 

#chmod +x “Send To”

 

Edit this file and add the following code in this file

 

#!/bin/bash

## Authur : Sushant Bhosale

IFS=$’\n’

cd ~/

gnome-terminal –command=’./list.sh’

exit 0

 

Now go to the home directory and create a file named “list.sh” and add execute permission to it

 

#cd ~/

 

#touch list.sh

 

#chmod +x list.sh

 

Edit “list.sh” and add the following code in the file

 

#!/bin/bash

## Author : Sushant Bhosale

IFS=$’\n’

cd /media/

array=(`ls`)

len=${#array[*]}

i=0

while [ $i -lt $len ]; do

echo “$i: ${array[$i]}”

let i++

done

echo “Enter the folder to copy: “

read ch

for FILENAME in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS

do

cp $FILENAME /media/${array[$ch]}

done

exit 0

 

Just save and copy with just few clicks. . .

 

Another good feature of this script is that it asks the user for the drive to copy file to, so you can use it to copy file to any mounted drive.

Should give you some ideas on how to add what you want to the SendTo Menu.

 

SendTo can be email addresses or folders ... like in Windows.

I would recommend nautilus-actions, you can then easily add own rightclick menus to do what you want.

 

Nautilus Actions Configuration (sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions) And setup something like "Move to Home" which would be the following command and parameters:

 

/bin/mv

 

%M /home/%U/

 

Which would execute the Move command with the full path to all selected files and place them in your Home Folder.

 

 

 

Go to System > Preferences > Nautilus Actions

and setup commands that you want to add.

You do not need sudo for those commands. The author of the article must of made a typo in the commands as you would not want a script in /root/.gnome2 as you do not run gnome as root anyway.
