Mate Installation ================== NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh ./configure \ --with-gtk=2 \ --disable-scrollkeeper \ --enable-html-manuals=gdt make sudo make install for Mate-1.4, you need 1.4.0 source NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh ./configure \ --disable-schemas-install \ --with-gtk=2 \ --enable-mateconf=yes \ --disable-scrollkeeper \ --enable-html-manuals=gdt \ --with-default-io-provider=na-desktop make sudo make install Description ================== Caja-Actions Caja-actions is an extension for Caja file manager which allows the user to add arbitrary program to be launched through the Caja file manager popup menu of selected files. Caja-Actions components. Caja-Actions has three sort of components: - A user interface, caja-actions-config-tool (CACT), which let you manage your actions. With CACT, you are able to create, modify and delete actions, to define menus and submenus, to order and reorder items. Import/export functions are also managed via CACT. - Caja extensions as dynamically loadable plugins. These extensions are automatically loaded by Caja when it starts. For now, two extensions are provided: . libcaja-actions-menu.so is a plugin which takes care of displaying actions in Caja context menus; . libcaja-actions-tracker.so is a plugin which tracks the current Caja selection, and sends it in response to a DBus request. - Command-line utilities: a) installed in PREFIX/bin: . caja-actions-new lets you create new actions from the command-line; . caja-actions-run lets you execute a predefined action, taking into account the current Caja selection via a DBus call to the libcaja-actions-tracker plugin; b) installed in PKGLIBEXECDIR: . na-print-schemas prints the full MateConf schemas on stdout; . na-delete-xmltree deletes a tree from a XML file; . na-mateconf2keys.sh migrates menus, actions and user preferences from MateConf to files. Caja-Actions plugins. I/O Providers. Caja-Actions itself uses plugins to load menus and actions from the storage space. These plugins are installed in PKGLIBDIR, usually something as /usr/lib/caja-actions/. Starting with 1.5.0, the preferred default I/O provider is 'na-desktop', which means that newly created actions and menus will be stored on disk as .desktop files, in accordance with DES-EMA specification [1]. Importers/Exporters. Caja-Actions also relies on plugins to import actions and menus, and to export them, in several formats. For now, Caja-Actions is able to import/export its items as: . MateConf schemas; . MateConf dump; . XML; . .desktop files. Caja-Actions documentation. Documentation is provided in several formats: - developer documentation is provided as xml and html files, as generated by gtk-doc; - CACT user's manuals and general documentation is provided as xml, pdf and html files, as generated by mate-doc-utils, docbook-utils or dblatex tools.
