Re: GtkAppChooser custom command patch

[tarnyko tarnyko net]

Andreas, 

If it could be an *integrated* Nautilus feature, that would be great. 

Actually, it's all my users are asking for. Having the ability to run 
"custom command" in Nautilus. 

But it should *not* be an additional package -which you might not have 
installed on some systems - but definitely an integrated one. Should come 
with vanilla GNOME. 

I didn't hack Nautilus because I didn't know anything about it, and am more 
a GTK+ guy. 

Regards,
Tarnyko
