Nautilus-minus extension

nautilus-min.us is an extension for nautilus that makes uploading images and galleries to http://min.us easier for the user. It adds an item in the context menu, so when you select one or more images, you click "Upload to min.us", wait for a moment, and your default browser will open on the gallery page.

Installation

Automatic installation

You can install the extension from this deb file. It should take care of all dependencies etc. Remember to restart nautilus after installation:

nautilus -q or killall nautilus

If this method fails, try manual installation:

Manual installation

Get the tarball with the latest source here, Extract it into $HOME/.nautilus/python-extensions/ . If there isn't such directory, create it with your user. Extract the tarball so that the script upload_to_minus.py and the dir minus_utils are directly in python-extensions/ and not subfolders.

The extension needs python-nautilus package. On Ubuntus or Debians, install it using apt:

sudo apt-get install python-nautilus

The extension notifies the user via libnotify (pynotify) which is present on Ubuntus and some Debians. If that's not there, it falls back to zenity, which is in standard gnome installation. Try to get at least one of these packages so you can be notified of eventual errors/ updates.

Future

I would love to hear some comments, critique, feature requests etc. You can fork it, request pulls and comment on GitHub.
