There is a very useful entry in gnome's context menu when clicking on any file:
Open with gedit (the first entry in the context menu).

I'd like to add similar one, for my second favourite editor.

The question is how to do it?

  • i don't see this menu item ("Nautilus Actions Configuration") on Ubuntu 10.04. can you add what command it runs or what version of Ubuntu you have that provides this menu item? – quack quixote Jun 20 '10 at 18:49

    Could you try installing the nautilus-actions package and then try the above. I have this working on 10.04, with the said package installed. – Abhinav Jun 20 '10 at 18:55
  • @quack quixote ♦ Thanks. Any chance to make the new context menu entry appear as first? – takeshin Jun 21 '10 at 20:28
