Try putting scripts in /home/$USER/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/

Answer 2

Nautilus Actions

We may define our own right-click context menu items with nautilus-actions .

• Run the Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool either from the Dash, or from a terminal with

   nautilus-actions-config-tool
  

With this tool I was able to make a context menu item to open terminal here. I've followed these steps:

One thing to note... It didn't show up on toolbar, or I didn't know where to look for it. So you don't have to check those two boxes in the second screenshot.

The whole thing works nicely, and I can click on files/folders or empty space to open terminal on current folder. It took a little effort to find out that the correct variable for folder path was "%d/%w".

When I was in /home/logan/games:

• %d would get /home/logan if clicked on empty space
• %d would get /home/logan/games if clicked on any file/folder under games folder

But %d/%w seems to work for both empty space and on folder/file.

You may also need to logout and log back in, unless you restart nautilus to reload the context menu.

Just use Nautilus-Action script to implement this.

Install gksu and nautilus-actions from the Software Centre Then open the Nautilus-Action Configuration Tool

In the Nautilus-Action Configuration Tool create a new action In the Action tab, type 'Open Folder As Root' in the Context label In the Command tab, input the values 'gksu' and 'nautilus %d/%w' in Command Path and Parameters respectively. Then Restart nautilus : nautilus -q
