The Nautilus Application list Adder!

This simply adds a little context menu entry which allows you to add a binary or script to your applications list!

^{Example with Pico 8}

Installation Methods

Method 1: GNOME Extension (Recommended)

The GNOME extension automatically installs and manages the Nautilus extension for you. When you enable the extension, it installs the Nautilus context menu; when you disable it, it removes it.

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/coffandro/Nautilus-Application-Adder.git
cd Nautilus-Application-Adder
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/nautilus-application-adder@coffandro.github.io
cp -r gnome-extension/* ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/nautilus-application-adder@coffandro.github.io/
cp -r Extension ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/nautilus-application-adder@coffandro.github.io/

Then restart GNOME Shell (press Alt+F2, type r, and press Enter on X11, or log out and log back in on Wayland).

Enable the extension using GNOME Extensions app or:

gnome-extensions enable nautilus-application-adder@coffandro.github.io

To disable:

gnome-extensions disable nautilus-application-adder@coffandro.github.io

Method 2: Manual Installation (Alternative)

If you prefer not to use the GNOME extension, you can install manually using the install script:

git clone https://github.com/coffandro/Nautilus-Application-Adder.git
cd Nautilus-Application-Adder
./install.sh -i
nautilus -q

Or as a self-cleaning one liner:

git clone https://github.com/coffandro/Nautilus-Application-Adder.git && cd Nautilus-Application-Adder && ./install.sh -i && cd .. && yes "yes" | rm -rI Nautilus-Application-Adder && nautilus -q

To remove:

./install.sh -r

Requirements

• GNOME Shell 45+ (for GNOME extension method)
• python-nautilus / python3-nautilus / nautilus-python package (automatically installed by install.sh)

To configure!

Simply modify the configuration file at ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/NautilusApplications/config.json

nano ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/NautilusApplications/config.json
