As you might remember, I once announced the release of nautilus-open-terminal [1], a nautilus extension for opening the terminal of a selected folder.
Reinout van Schouwen, a diligent translator you might know, wanted to send me a translation update today and I noted that although I did only a leaky pre-release, package maintainers picked it up and packaged it, which was not intended at all, taken that I really didn't care for code quality. Thanks Reinout :).
Because I lost the tarball and just didn't care what, I thought it would be lost, but it isn't: I was able to recover a kind-of-orignal tarball from the (pkg-alioth) debian repository and could resurrect it.
I updated it to use a icon for the menu item and work for selected folders as well, not only for the currently open folder. And it has less crippled dependencies.
Maybe now that it works it's really time to remove the "Open Terminal" item from the desktop context menu (Nautilus 2.12).
NO! Please don't remove yet another valuable feature from GNOME! I use "Open Terminal" from the desktop quite often and would not want to miss it! I dont think the feature hurts anyone.
Grab it from GNOME CVS (module: nautilus-open-terminal [2]) and start translating (3 strings)/testing :). Feedback is very much welcome. Have fun.
