Nautilus is Gnome’s file manager. One of its features that I enjoy is the little function called nautilus scripts. When navigation the file tree with nautilus, there are a group of scripts available anytime on the right mouse button. Here is a link for beginners to help you get started with these scripts.
As part of my work with Ubuntu’s documentation team, I’ve been learning an application called Subversion. Subversion is an open source application for revision control. It is the tool used to develop and maintain all the documentation and keep everything sync’d up between contributors.
I saw a post by Christer Edwards over at ubuntu-tutorials.com that got me going in this direction. Here’s how I added svn functionality to nautilus. Enjoy!
In a terminal -
sudo aptitude search nautilus-scriptp nautilus-script-audio-convert – A nautilus audio converter script
p nautilus-script-collection-svn – Nautilus subversion management scripts
p nautilus-script-debug – Simple nautilus debugging script
p nautilus-script-manager – A simple management tool for nautilus scripts
sudo apt-get install nautilus-script-collection-svn
The following NEW packages will be installed:
nautilus-script-collection-svn nautilus-script-manager
nautilus-script-manager
Usage: nautilus-script-manager {enable script-name|disable script-name|list-enabled|list-available}
nautilus-script-manager list-available
Subversion
nautilus-script-manager enable Subversion
Please restart nautilus to get an updated menu. (I didn’t need to restart nautilus, YMMV)
I’m glad I was able to get you on the right track. Let me know if there are any specific tutorials you’d like me to work on. Thanks!

[...] Work… The reason I own a machine. Next task is to switch over to using Ubuntu for work. Being a web developer, it’s not that difficult. So far, I’ve installed Eclipse Development Environment. You can easily install that through Synapic Package Manager. I also use Subversion Version Control, but I don’t like Eclipse’s implementation of it. On Windows, I use Tortoise SVN so I wanted something that integrates into Nautilus (Linux’s Windows Explorer). I found plugin that uses Nautilus Scripts that works better for me (again, personal preference). Here’s what I have left to replace: [...]
Thank you!
Recently I switched from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu). I was searching for a tool similar to Tortoise SVN which I was using in Windows. I tried to have my own scripts till I find your page. Thanks to you, its developers and all those who are responsible for its existence
Thank you!
