[SOLVED] Fedora: execute command on right click of mouse

Issue

I need to execute quite often a pdf split option on a file such as:

pdfseparate largefile.pdf part-%d.pdf

Is there a way to execute such a command on a selected file by right-clicking on it? I'm running a Fedora 22 Thanks

Solution

I assume that you are using a standard Fedora installation with Gnome 3.

Install nautilus-actions first:

sudo yum install nautilus-actions

Then, open it and configure an entry with the following configuration:

Notice that i wrote a double % symbol, because it would be otherwise matched and translated into the current directory.

I also advice you to disable the option Create a main menu for Nautilus Actions in the Preferences of the application.

You should not need to restart Nautilus for the changes to take place, but if needed use:

sudo pkill -9 nautilus

Although it's definitively better to just logout/login.
