Nautilus Script Fun

Here's a new one for you!

I've always wanted to be able to open a Gnome-Terminal in Nautilus and
have the terminal be in whatever folder Nautilus was in.

I figured out how to do it.

Create a short script (make sure it is executable) in your
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts folder. Name it "Open Gnome-Terminal
here...", or whatever you want to name it.

The script is:

-------------------------------

#!/bin/bash
#
cd -
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal
done
exit0

-------------------------------

To use the script, just open Nautilus. Go to any folder that you want to
open a terminal in and right-click on any part of the background (not a
file or program icon).

Select the "open terminal" script from the scripts menu and a
Gnome-Terminal should open and it will be in the folder that Nautilus is
in.
