Cover Thumbnailer is a small Python script which displays music album covers in nautilus, preview of pictures which are in a folder and more.

Nautilus (the GNOME file manager) is able to display thumbnails for several file types: images, video, audio (holding you mouse over a sound file for a few second), text, pdf, etc.

Renamer is a small python script for batch renaming files in nautilus.

If your music files aren't named properly or simply want to see the MP3 and FLAC metadata information (ID3 tags) in Nautilus List View, you can't by default.

But I found a python script (which also comes as a .deb file) on the Ubuntu Forums called "Nautilus Columns" which adds new columns to Nautilus, so you can view such metadata information.

I often find myself browsing my filesystem with Nautilus (the GNOME file manager) and wanting a terminal window to manipulate files in the current directory. I decided to take a shot at writing my own Nautilus script to solve the problem.

This is a Nautilus extension which embeds the terminal into the Nautilus window. And just like it is with Dolphin, when you navigate to a different folder, the terminal also "cd"s into that folder.

Not so long ago we discovered a simplified version of Nautilus which seems to miss Ubuntu Karmic after all so the only way to get it is through it's PPA. But still, one of the most requested features in Nautilus must be the dual-panel view, which gives you the ability to work in two directories at one. Sure, you can use tabs, but a dual panel Nautilus would be really useful.

Nautilus is the graphical file manager (along with a few other nice features) in GNOME. Most users only use the bare minimum features of Nautilus (including me, as I’m mainly a console jockey) and don’t realize how powerful and flexible Nautilus truly is.

The default file manager in the GNOME desktop environment is Nautilus. If you've been using GNOME for a while, then you're probably familiar with Nautilus' built in Nautilus Scripts function. The Scripts function is great, but there's an even better way to add functions to Nautilus; with Nautilus Actions.
