Nautilus Tips
February 24, 2007 – 9:15 pm2 little tips for Nautilus that may help you.
1- Nautilus Open Terminal
With this plugin you can open the folder you wish in nautilus using the right-click menu, just install the package nautilus-open-terminal .
2- Browse Nautilus has Root
I think this is self explanatory, to browse files and folder having root permissions.
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nautilus-root.desktop
and add:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Nautilus (Root)
Comment=Browse the filesystem with the file manager has root
Exec=gksudo “nautilus –browser %U”
Icon=file-manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;System;
Applications -> System Tools -> Nautilus (Root)
Hope they are usefull for you, they are for me

These certainly are very useful tips!
I always thought this should be built into nautilus. I knew there was a way to do it (this IS Linux, after all) but it just barely failed to cross that threshold where something annoys you enough to find out how to fix it.
Thanks
