I found this:
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions/

but here is not mint, is ubuntu 18.04

This extension code is in python.

It is the only reason that I still open nautilus for: to compare files easily...

this didnt work for me: How to install nemo extensions? I tried to download and ./build nemo-compare on ubuntu 18.04, but it requires nemo-3.8 and here is 3.6, found no updates to it.

there are some other files for older ubuntu, but I see no reason to them not work on 18.04, they are at:
https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/+archive/ubuntu/nemo3/+packages
I just dont know what to do with them...
If extensions could be installed for my user only and not at /usr it would be easier, but I found no info where it should be placed.

I tried temporarily copy them to /usr/share/nemo-compare and create a symlink for the main file at /usr/share/nemo-python/extensions/ but when restarting nemo, it didnt detect the extension... (so I removed all these tmp changes)

Here you have two possible solutions:

  • clone the git-repository, patch code and create deb-package locally:

    # get development stuff
sudo apt-get install git devscripts debhelper python-all dh-python

# clone repository
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions.git
cd nemo-extensions/nemo-compare
git checkout 3.6.0

# patch (Ubuntu has 'nemo-python' instead of 'python-nemo')
sed -i "s/python-nemo/nemo-python/" debian/control

# build deb-package and install it
debuild -uc -us
sudo apt-get install ../nemo-compare_3.6.0_all.deb

    and then restart Nemo.

  • find some PPA on the LaunchPad with precompiled Nemo Extensions packages:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gfunkmonk/nemo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo-compare

    and then restart Nemo.
