Mate Caja Scripts

[zaileion]

I've been looking for "Nautilus like Scripts" for Caja but no luck. I downloaded these scripts from various places over the internet and ported them for Caja.

1. Download the scripts and copy them into /home/xxxx/.config/caja/scripts (Change xxxx to your name.) (If you don't see the .config folder click "view" and select "show hidden files")

2. Right click on each script select "Properties"
3. Click permissions tab and make sure the box is checked next to "Allow Executing File as a Program"

Now whenever you right click something you will see a "Scripts" option in the contextual menu. just click the script of your choice and it will run.

*** If a script in your script folder does not show up in the contextual menu that's because you didn't complete step 3. ***


Here are the scripts:

Thank you. I'm curious about the Copy-To scripts. You create a variable named FILE but you don't seem to use it. How do these Copy-To scripts work with the $@ variable?

Thanks a lot for the scripts!

So... instead of clicking each script and setting execute simply do the following to set execute on all scripts at once...

Open the location of the scripts
/home/xxxx/.config/caja/scripts
Right click in a blank area and select open in terminal
Then type

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x *

To use the "Open with Pluma" scripts you need to install Pluma. Linux Mint has changed text editors. I will eventually add more scripts to utilize the default text editor but for now here is the command to install the previous default text editor Pluma.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install pluma

Also, the scripts with "as root" need to be edited. open the script files with a text editor and replace gksudo with pkexec there are 2 scripts that are open as root. gksudo has been removed from ubuntu and replaced with pkexec.

You don't need sudo to change permissions of your own files.
