New Frugalware package of Nautilus-Elementary

Remember, few weeks ago I wrote an entry on my blog about Nautilus-Elementary, a rework of Nautilus. I’ve made a new Frugalware package from a more recent snapshot of Nautilus-elementary bazaar repo. As I said, on a previous entry, now on Frugalware, the default GTK theme of GNOME is clearlooks-revamp. This theme was developed with the classic nautilus but also nautilus-elementary:

Yeah, as you can see, with nautilus-elementary, it’s even more beautiful !

To install nautilus-elementary, first remove nautilus:

# pacman -Rd nautilus

with that, your nautilus extensions packages will not be removed, then install my nautilus-elementary package with:

# pacman -U http://frugalware.org/~devil505/nautilus-elementary-2.30.1-1-i686.fpm

By the way, I recently bumped cover-thumbnailer (0.8.1) on current, If you have a big music folder, I suggest you to use it with nautilus-elementary to get something like this:

Nautilus-Elementary on Frugalware

without comments

Nautilus-Elementary is a « mod » of Nautilus, the filebrowser of Gnome. If you want more informations about nautilus-elementary, just visit the website of this project.

Now we’ll see how to have Nautilus-Elementary on Frugalware.

I made a package from a snapshot (bzr 54) of nautilus-elementary. Before installing it, you need to remove the actual nautilus by default of Gnome:

# pacman -Rd nautilus

Then install nautilus-elementary:

# pacman -U http://frugalware.org/~devil505/nautilus-elementary-2.30-1-i686.fpm

This is a i686 version, if you want a x86_64 or ppc one, contact me, i’ll provide you the FrugalBuild to package yourself nautilus-elementary for your arch.

Now relaunch nautilus.

Then it’s time to install the breadcrumbs (the use location entry mod):

cd ~
wget http://gnaag.k2city.eu/nautilus-breadcrumbs-hack.tar.gz
tar -xvf nautilus-breadcrumbs-hack.tar.gz

Well it’s just some hidden files to copy into your $HOME.

To activate them, go to the Preferences window of nautilus then to the Tweaks tab and activate « show like Breadcrumbs (need specific gtkrcfile) ».

Finally, you’re supposed to have something like that:

Disabling GNOME Automount

without comments

When you connect a mass storage device to a computer running the GNOME desktop environment it automatically mounts the device in /media and places a short-cut to the device on your desktop. This is an excellent default behavior; but if you are working with various devices sometimes it can get in the way. To correctly disable this feature simply execute:

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount false

The devices will still appear in computer:/// (in nautilus) where you can right click on them to select the mount action if and when you want them to be mounted. If and when you want to re-enable to auto-mounting feature execute:

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount true
