[Bug 130055] Re: Nautilus audio convert script doesn't activate itself

[Pietro Battiston]

@Nicolas (and other users): Yes, indeed. Synaptic runs as user root, so
all happened is that the script was enabled for root user.

I've written a small scripts manager you may want to try. The package is
attached to this post (nautilus-scripts-manager_1.2-1_all.deb), and once
installed you find it in System -> Preferences. I'm trying to get it
into Debian and hence Ubuntu repositories, but with no luck so far.

Otherwise, a dirtier but simpler solution to your problem is just
typing:

  ln -s /usr/share/nautilus-scripts/ConvertAudioFile ~/.gnome2/nautilus-
scripts/ConvertAudioFile

in a terminal.

@Emmet (or other Ubuntu devs): since nautilus-script-manager is bugged (and ugly), if you think nautilus-scripts-manager (notice the "s") could make it in Ubuntu Universe (and maybe become a "Recommend" for packages currently depending on nautilus-script-manager, effectively replacing it), you can find source at 
  http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nautilus-scripts-manager/
changing "unstable" to "karmic" is all what should be needed. I _can_ also upload it on REVU, but not if it's only to loose time and make the "needs review" list longer (to be clear, I'm not blaming anyone, the difficulty of getting a package sponsored is just a fact).
(just for reference, I'm already Debian maintainer of gvb and python-shapely)
