I use gnome 2.10 on FC4 and would like to be able to do the following:
open nautilus, right-click on a file and choose the "Send To" menu item
- this menu item is what I want to create or install. After choosing
this menu item, nautilus gives me a small dialog that allows me to
choose a directory to send that file to. I choose the directory, click
"OK" and nautilus sends the file to the chosen directory for me.
If I could learn how to do this, I'd be willing to write lots of
plugins/scripts/extensions and host them on my website so others can
benefit.
Now, my question is, how do I do all of that in gnome 2.10? Is it
possible to write a script or nautilus extension to get all of that
done? If so, how would a non-programmer, like myself, write such a
script or extension and where would I put it when done? Is there an app
that does all of this?
I have installed nautilus-sendto from Extras but there is no
documentation for it at all - either in the rpm nor anywhere on the web
- which makes this nautilus-sendto app totally useless, since there is
no way to learn how to write new plugins for it. Nautilus-sendto comes
with one plugin, but it is in C or C++ I think - may as well have been
in greek since I know nothing about source code. It really makes me
angry when people package an app that has absolutely no documentation
for it and nothing available on the internet.
Anyway, anyone have any idea about how to write such a plugin or
extension for nautilus?
why you just don't contact the author of nautilus-sendto, (
(http://www.es.gnome.org/~telemaco/)? If he wrote one plugin he must
know how to do that.
Already did that, no help there.
you probably may also ask nautilus guys

This is very useful, thank you :)
