I want to use a command line, but don't know how this configuration looks like and where to save it.

According to the source code, it uses GConf to store configuration. Gconf can be manipulated from the command line using gconftool-2 but you do need to understand the schema because gconftool is pretty low-level and can't ensure that your changes are correct or consistent.

You might find it easier to use the nautilus action configuration tool to change an action and gconftool to see what gets changed than to make sense of the schema description directly.

  • Thanks, but can you provide a small code example? – Sergey Jul 17 '13 at 16:08
  • Sorry, I can't without doing more work than you'd need to because I don't use nautilus-actions and try not to use gconftool if I can avoid it. – msw Jul 17 '13 at 22:49
  • the actions can be exported in different formats by going to `tools: export aassistant`. Also, look at `Edit-Preferences-Export`. –  Feb 06 '17 at 18:08

When they are exported by going to tools: export aassistant (also, look at Edit-Preferences-Export) they contain Gconf settings, but at the same time the settings made in nautilus action configuration tool are .desktop files created in /.local/share/file-manager/actions, and those do not contain such settings, except some that stand for the upper levels of a tree-menu.

For example, after creating this setting in Nautilus action configuration tool:

which gives this:

the upper level menus like "Subtitles" and "Download subtitles" contain lines like ItemsList=3f0b618c-c6fe-436c-86a9-2ebd9b1a77dd;1601ae38-5d78-4214-aeef-b7feb9864fc7;d67b7f55-6b10-418b-bfe8-eb9d4e5e7732;66242038-c8b1-414f-9ef2-4d5bb831a027;, which are gconf settings that cannot really be edited manually in the text file, while the lowest level items (the actions themselves - EN, RO, FR, etc) do not have such code lines and can be edited.
