@Emmanuelle: You recommended the nautilus-actions extension.
But I need this extension in Solaris 11 (and not in Linux/Ubuntu). I have difficulties to find a way to install nautilus-actions in Solaris 11. All the "usual" ways to install packages in Solaris fail for Nautilus actions. I tried for example: pkg install nautilus-actions but it fails. The following page is somehow confusing: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E24676/gldnz.html Does that mean that the nautilus-actions extension is already automatically installed with Nautilus on Solaris 11? If NOT: How do I install Nautilus Actions on Solaris 11? I found no information.
