Nautilus Scripts? [solved]

I'm currently running nautilus 2.8 and I really miss the "Open With Terminal" option for directories, so I looked into what could be done, and it said I should make my own scrupts. So, following instructions I found somewhere, I made a script:

I found this: http://puzzling.org/computing/help/gnome
Googled for: nautilus scripts 2.8

Hope this helps.

I have done all that. It doesn't seem to work. I still have no scripts menu entry.

According to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153734 you need to upgrade to x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.15 (which is masked) for the scripts directory to work.

I tried this, restarted nautilus with "killall nautilus" and it seems to have worked.

Just wanted to add that things didn't work well for me when I uncommented the first line. Some scripts worked, some didn't. I unmasked the -0.15 package and then things worked wonderfully. No problems yet.

I also needed to merge version 0.15 of shared-mime-info to get this to work. Is this true for everyone, or do scripts work for some people with version 0.14?

Does anyone know why 0.15 is masked?

removing the #!/bin/sh or bash, etc. worked for me. thanks a lot rfdonnelly.

I did not need to emerge the masked mime info package.

Hi,

thanks to the mime-tipps in this Thread I got the nautilus-scripts to work on my laptop.

My Gentoo-Desktop-Box however is another matter entirely:
(i tried with shared-mime-0.15 and 0.14..)

Here I made the following observations:

*No matter what I do, my main-users script-menu won't appear
*If I create a _new_ user, with a fresh home-dir and follow the steps 1.goto nautilus-scripts, 2. create a file, 3. put something workable in there (+ #!/bin/bash), 4. make it executable
, then the Script-Menu does in fact appear.
*Copying (and fixing the permissions) of the new users komplete homedir to my standard-user-homedir does _not_ get me a Scripts-Menu with my standard-user
*rm -R ...; mkdir; cp -r /etc/skel /home/...; creating a virgin-home-dir for my standard-user and following the steps that worked with my test-user also do _not_ get me a Scripts-Menu

Are there global Gnome/Nautilus per-user settings that I could have missed somewhere ?
And no, I did not accidantly miss the hidden leading-dot files in the home-dirs

Do perl scripts work with the shared-mime-info-0.16 (or 0.15) installed?
