A simple Nautilus extension that allows to run executables and launchers via right-click menu

Just install the extension, restart Nautilus and right-click on a launcher or an executable. Launchers need to be valid in order to show the “Launch” menu item.

The package needs help with internationalization. If a translation into your language is missing and you wish to get involved, here is what to do.

Let's say you want to create a Dutch translation of Nautilus Launch (nl). This package comes with only eight strings to translate:

1. “Error retrieving file's path”
2. “Launcher has become invalid”
3. “Error retrieving current working directory”
4. “Error retrieving launcher's path”
5. “Launch all”
6. “Launch all the selected applications”
7. “Launch”
8. “Launch the selected application”

First thing to do is to make sure that GNU Autotools and GNU gettext are installed on your system. Then clone this repository and launch the following commands:

./bootstrap
make -C po nautilus-launch.pot
(cd po && msginit -l nl)
./bootstrap --clean

Now edit the po/LINGUAS file and add a new line containing the abbreviated name of the new language (nl).

Finally, open the file po/nl.po and translate the two strings above. All you have to do now is to commit your changes.

For any issue, drop a message.

This extension has been created using NExtGen Nautilus extension generator.
