[ALUG] Gnome context menu integration

[samwise]

Maybe I'm missing something (I'm a primarily a KDE user), but last
time I had to do something like this, I just created a simple shell
script which was named after what I wanted to see in the Gnome context
menu:

~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Convert\ XLS\ to\ CSV...

with the contents performing the action I required, so something like:

#!/bin/bash
# Convert XLS files to CSV...
notrailspace=$(echo "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" | sed -e
's/^ *//' -e 's/ *$//')
sh /usr/bin/xls2csv "$notrailspace"

should do what you want (not tested tho).  I needed the extra sed
gubbings for the command I was calling, but you might get away with
removing it, depending on how xls2csv works.  Don't forget to make it
executable.

The above isn't perfect, as I don't think it will differentiate what
files you have selected and then only show when you right-click on XLS
files, which might be possibly if you read around.
