Where under the HOME dir should Nautilus Python-based extensions be stored?
I'm running fully up-to-date Debian Testing using GNOME version 2.22.3 and Nautilus version 2.20.0 installed from packages with no customization (yet, that is what I'm trying to do). I want to customize the available columns to include additional file info versus what is currently provided. I thought I would find an example that works and get that working, so I searched and found an example and some Nautilus Installation info stating:

Code:
# I _thought" this should go into ~/.nautilus/python-extensions/block-size-column.py Code:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 brentg brentg 701 2009-04-11 08:14 /home/brentg/.nautilus/python-extensions/block-size-column.py Thanks, bgoodr |
Maybe try restarting the whole Gnome desktop? (ie: Log out and log back in).
In Gnome, Nautilus is responsible for drawing the desktop icons as well and so closing the nautilus windows and reopening is probably not restarting it. --Ian |

I'm still after an answer for this, so more searching revealed an Ubuntu reference that states:

I'm wondering if there are two places for scripts: One set that can override things in the View/Visible Columns area of Nautilus (which is what I'm after), and yet another for the context menu on the files (which is not what I'm after, at least, not right now)? bg |
More searching found announcement about Nautilus-python back in 2005 that leads me to conclude that the Python extension mechanism is not built into the Nautilus that is installed by default in GNOME on Debian Testing. But I don't know for sure yet.

The announcement about Nautilus-python led me to search for a Debian package and I found one that might be what I need at python-nautilus. I will try that first and see if I can get some traction. :)

Found the solution
The python-nautilus package was the missing piece I needed. Now I see the Block Size entry in the View/Visible Columns dialog box.

See also the GNOME Support Forum post.

Well done. Thanks for posting the solution as well :)
