caja-scripts

This is a repository for Caja scripts created by me.

Dependencies

On a debian machine with MATE desktop, I haven't installed anything specific. For interactive menus and messages, zenity is used. If you don't have zenity, please install it.

Installation:

1. Copy the scripts to ~/.config/caja/scripts/
2. Make sure that the script files have executable permission.

Disclaimer:

I haven't tested this software extensively. Please report bugs and help me fix them.
Pull requests are always welcome.

Details of each script is given below

Checksum

View the checksum(md5sum, sha1sum, sha256sum, sha512sum) of any file from Caja itself.

Open Terminal

Open mate-terminal from any location.

Unmount FUSE volumes

This script can unmount any fuse mounts (sshfs/encfs) mounts within the Caja window itself. Once executed, the script will show a list of fuse mounts, and the user can select the one he wish to unmount.

Background

Caja supports ssfhs mounts from the GUI. But it does not support unmounting from Caja window (See Caja bug report). Nautilus also has the same problem.

There are two workarounds I found in the Internet, but I dont like any of them

1. Open terminal and execute fusermount -u <mountpoint>.

   If Caja supports mounting the sshfs from GUI, it should be removable from GUI. It should be that simple.

2. Use gvfs.

   A gvfs mount does not behave like a local folder. Some application does not work properly. eg. VLC cannot play with public key authentication. (See VLC bug report).
