Customize right click file menu / Nautilus action alternative

Post by LuciusSnow » 2021/10/23 12:47:19

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to integrate Mediainfo software in the context menu like this tutorial explains for Ubuntu:

We might need Nautilus action that should be installed this way:

However, the package doesn't seem to exist anymore. How could I achieve this?

Thank you.

Nautilus-Actions, since renamed to FileManager-Actions, was removed from Fedora six years ago and never brought back. The actual upstream ceased any non-translation development about four years ago and has put it into their Archive namespace in source control.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nautilus-actions
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/filemanager-actions

If you build it from source it may still be functional, but I have no idea. I'd say an alternative would be to use Caja and Caja-Actions from MATE Desktop, but MATE isn't built in EPEL for EL8.
