nautilus-sendto integration

[doomhammerng@…]

Will there be a Gajim integration with nautilus-sendto (as can be seen in GAIM), so that files from Nautilus could be sent to people from one's roster, using only a context menu (no drag'n'drop things)?

[nk]

any docs about this? at least some source code that does it etc.. :)

this feature smell damn good :D

The last version of nautilus-sendto is from 2004 and it depends on evolution. Do I need a clumsy mail client just to send a file from the file manager to Gajim? - no

I think a better way to achieve the same is to write a nautilus script. Some bash programing and gajim-remote is more than enough.

Well, I think "5 days ago" (as for today) isn't 2004. Have you checked the GNOME CVS repo? http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/nautilus-sendto/ Besides, AFAIK, Evolution isn't any more a requirement, only a "recomendation". And I think that using _sendto_ to _send_ files is better than dealing with nautilus-actions. nautilus-sendto is designed to deal with file sending (currently through Evolution, GAIM and Blutooth, IIRC). Therefore it should be integrated somehow with GAJIM. Cheers and checkout the CVS!

[dkirov]

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't say this way of checking dependencies can be called "recomendation", but anyway - you are right for the date. Current cvs is linked against gnome2.13, so we can expect new versions not before gnome2.14 is released.

Yann, can you make a new repository for nautilus-sendto-gajim plugin.

[dkirov]

There is a beta plugin, you can take it from here:

svn co svn://svn.gajim.org/nautilus-sendto-gajim

[DoomHammer]

Yeah!

That's good! You should work a little bit on the GUI and integrate presence indicators, but that's exactly, what I've asked for. Maybe try to cooperate with nautilus-sendto maintainer to merge nautilus-sendto-gajim into nautilus-sendto (it will decrease the amount of packages to install :P)?

[dkirov]

It is more that 2 weeks since I wrote to nautilus-sendto author about what you suggested. No reply. You can still download the single plugin package form the above repository.

[DoomHammer]

Not good. I really would like to see this feature in mainstream Gajim

/Nautilus-sendto.

[dkirov]

it is kind of mainstream. You can report bugs and stuff. I'll put a wiki

NautilusSendtoIntegration. If needed we can move nautilus-sendto-gajim in gajim source repository, although I don't see the difference. The main problem with such small plugins is that they miss packages for distributions :(

[DoomHammer]

And this was what I meant by "mainstream" - a packaged plugin for distros

to distribute. The better OS/Desktop integration - the better users' experience!

[dkirov]

gajim plugin is in nautilus-sendto cvs tree.
