Do you upload images to Commons? Do you use Nautilus (or Nemo or Caja)? Then why not have your file browser tell you what files have been uploaded already?
nautilus-commons-upload-status overlays emblems saying whether a file
has been uploaded to Commons already or not.
This is implemented using Commons' REST API, so an Internet connection is required.
WARNING: This is a prototype, and it is VEEEERY SLOW, especially in folders with more than 10 images.
Pull requests welcome! :-)
nautilus-commons-upload-status also supports Nemo and Caja. To install it for Nemo or Caja,
replace "nautilus" everywhere it appears below with "caja" or "nemo". Everything is
exactly the same since nemo and caja are forks of Nautilus that have not changed
anything relevant to this extension.
nautilus-commons-upload-status requires python-gi, python-nautilus (or python-nemo or
python-caja), the python pathlib library and the python enum34 library. On Ubuntu
these are installable with: sudo apt-get install python-gi python-pathlib python-nautilus python-enum34
To install nautilus-commons-upload-status, put the single python file git-nautilus- icons.py in ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions, and put the icons
folder hicolor in ~/.icons/. These directories might not exist, in which
case create them. You can use the following commands to do so:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/nautilus_commons_upload_status
cd git_nautilus_icons/
mkdir -p ~/.icons
cp -r icons/hicolor ~/.icons
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions
cp nautilus-commons-upload-status.py ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensionsThen restart Nautilus with nautilus -q and the plugin will be loaded next time
a Nautilus window is opened.
To uninstall, simply delete nautilus-commons-upload-status.py and the hicolor icons
folder.
Icons are updated every time you browse to a directory, but whilst in a directory, Nautilus doesn't ask the extension for new icons unless it sees a file change on disk. Tap F5 in Nautilus to force a refresh.
