Nautilus Actions is an extension for Nautilus, the GNOME file manager, which allows you to configure programs to be launched on files selected in the Nautilus interface. Each time you right-click on one or several selected files in Nautilus, Nautilus Actions will parse its configuration files to see if a program has been set for this selection. If one has been set, it will add an item to the menu that allows you to execute the program on the selected files.

Release Notes: A bug with Nautilus was fixed to make it update its popup menus when a configuration value changes in Nautilus-actions. The problem with the Export feature in Nact when the config contains some XML special characters was fixed. Error handling in Nact was improved, and now displays error dialogs when necessary. The icon preview in Nact which was displaying a bad icon in some special cases was fixed. The creation of the "%M" parameter pattern was fixed when selecting files in virtual "SavedSearch" folders. The extension part was optimized by updating the config list only when it has changed and not each time Nautilus asks for it.
