** Integrarion into Nautilus
Please do read the great instructions from [[https://github.com/novoid/filetags/issues/45][that thread]].
Nautilus allows scripts to be run directly from its GUI. The program passes the filenames of all selected files into the script under the variable ~$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS~. We will use it to create our "taggify" script.
First, check what kind of terminal you have installed and where it is located. In order to do this, run the command:
: ps -o 'cmd=' -p $(ps -o 'ppid=' -p $$)
Copy the output of this command and run:
: nano ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/taggify.sh
The folder where we created our .sh file is where Nautilus usually looks for scripts. Paste this into the file:
: #!/bin/bash
:
: # Declare an array to store file paths
: file_paths=()
:
: # Split the selected file paths into an array
: IFS=$'\n' read -d '' -ra file_paths <<< "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"
:
: # Iterate through the array and format the paths
: for file in "${file_paths[@]}"; do
: # Enclose each file path in quotation marks and append it to the array
: formatted_file="\"$file\""
: formatted_paths+=("$formatted_file")
: done
:
: # Join the array into a single string with space-separated items
: formatted_paths="${formatted_paths[*]}"
:
: # DEBUG - Output the formatted paths to the 'output' file
: # echo "filetags $formatted_paths" > output
:
: # Open new instance of the terminal and run filetags <filepaths>
: /usr/bin/kgx --command="/bin/bash -ci 'source ~/.bashrc && filetags $formatted_paths && read -p \"You can now safely exit the terminal...\"'"
Replace ~/usr/bin/kgx~ with the terminal name we previously copied. Now launch Nautilus, select some files and right click - you should see "Scripts" button in the dropdown list. If you click it, you will be able to click *Taggify* and tag all the selected files at once.
