Installing your script to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/share/nautilus-scripts will not automatically work for all users.

However, you can make scripts placed in this folder available to users by running nautilus-script-manager, which creates a symbolic link to your script in a user's ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts folder.

This only creates the link for the user who runs nautilus-script-manager though.

Steps to allow all new users to be able to use Nautilus Scripts from a global scripts folder:

1) Install your script to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/share/nautilus-scripts

2) Add a symbolic link to your script in the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/skel/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts folder.

mkdir<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/skel/.gnome2

mkdir<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/skel/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts

ln -s<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/share/nautilus-scripts/myscript

This way all new users will have a link to your script created when they first login and they can delete the symlink if they don't want it anymore.

Alternatively you could add these lines to your<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/skel/bashrc file:

if [ -x nautilus-script-manager ]

if [ ! -h<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/myscript ]

nautilus-script-manager enable myscript

fi

fi

This checks for and creates a symbolic link to your script, if it does not exist in the local user's<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.gnome2/nautilus-scripts folder, each time he logs in.

See man nautilus-script-manager for more info
