Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-script-collection-svn

After installing the nautilus-script-collection-svn (0.9.2-0ubuntu1) package on Edgy, the scripts did not work - that is, when right-clicking on a subversion-managed directory, there was no 'scripts' menu with 'subversion' submenu.

I manually copied the installed scripts from /usr/share/nautilus-scripts to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ . They now work perfectly (and are very useful!).

Thus, the issue seems to be that either (1) they are not installed to the right place, or (2) Nautilus doesn't look in the right place for them.

/usr/share/doc/nautilus-script-collection-svn/README.Debian states to enable this script run the following as user:
nautilus-script-manager enable Subversion
To disable it run the following as user:
nautilus-script-manager disable Subversion

It is too tricky for the avarage user (and I bet for many power users as well), therefore I think should be notified that user action is required to get the installed package working.

Changed in nautilus-svn-scripts:
status:	Unconfirmed → Confirmed

Nautilus scripts configure script Edit (1.1 KiB, text/plain)

I wrote a small proof-of-concept script that configures enabled scripts based on the nautilus-script-manager. Set this executable and copy to "~/gnome2/scripts/".

Any feedback is welcome!
