## Nemo Action installation



These instructions assume a Debian/Ubuntu based distro for the commands to

install dependencies. For users of other distros please replace `sudo apt`

with the equivalent for your distro's package management system.



First install git



```bash

sudo apt install git

```



Then clone this repo



```bash

git clone https://github.com/SoftGeekRO/sgs.nemo-actions.git

```



To have a functional Nemo actions pack you have to install first all the

applications that are used by the Nemo actions. For this use the bash

script install_app.sh. _For this script to run you must have root permissions_.



Having cloned the repo you can either install all the actions using the

commands below or refer to the index of actions to install individual actions.



To install all the nemo actions use the **install.sh** bash file and for

applications use **install_apps.sh**. Make sure that the

To perform the installation for dependency applications use:



```bash

sudo ./install_apps.sh all

## Nemo Action updating



In a terminal navigate to the `sgs.nemo-actions` folder created when you

originally cloned the repo



e.g `cd sgs.nemo-actions`



Once in the correct folder update your local copy with the latest commits,

before reinstalling your actions.



`git pull origin; cd ..`



## Debug



`nemo -q; NEMO_DEBUG=Actions NEMO_ACTION_VERBOSE=5 nemo --debug`



## Write an action



To make scripts executed to multiple files with a progress bar,

use `bash_action.sh`. Simple example:

  - execute `ls` command on each selected files:

    `Exec=`

  - same effect, but adding a bash variable:

    `Exec=`



Take a look to existing actions. Particularly `flac_to_wav.nemo_action` is a simple real-world example.



To specify icon you can use `Icon-Name`. Available icons are located in `/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/actions`.



## Debug actions (show actions logs and Nemo errors about actions)



```

nemo -q; NEMO_ACTION_VERBOSE=1 nemo --no-desktop

```



### Some tricks:

- the space between `"` and `%F>` is important; ie `"%F>` will **not** work
