# Nautilus Extension: Copy File Contents

Easily copy the contents of a text file! 😄

## Why?

I often needed to copy the content of a file, and using the "preview" with

SPACE to copy it wasn’t the best for me. So, I decided to create

this small project to streamline the process and also learn more about

developing Nautilus extensions! 🚀

## Dependencies

You'll need to install [nautilus-python](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus-python) for your distribution. 🙂

Optionally, for more advanced file type detection you may install [python-magic](https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic).

## Installation

```bash

make install

```

or manually:

```bash

cp ./src/nautilus_copy_file_contents.py $HOME/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/

```

## Uninstallation

```bash

make uninstall

```

or manually:

```bash

rm $HOME/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/nautilus_copy_file_contents.py

```

## Development/Debugging

To install the latest version, close all Nautilus instances and reopen it! 😄

```bash

export NAUTILUS_PYTHON_DEBUG=misc

make install && nautilus -q

nautilus

```

Contributions are welcome! :heart:
