Today I want to break it, because a new feature is added to Ubuntu Tweak again. This time, with Power Scripts.

You may ask what is “Power Scripts”. First, it is a kind of nautilus scripts.

Have you ever used nautilus scripts? Through nautilus scripts, you’ll done many kinds of work by just selecting files, and choosing what script to run.

But there’s a little limitation of nautilus scripts, we can’t do the work with interactive, and it has none output to tell us the progress or status. zenity isn’t so flexible as I expect.

I wrote some simple code the make the scripts more powerful. So I called it “Power Scripts”. And I wrote a interface of Ubuntu Tweak to manage the scripts.

Here’s the screenshots:

The way to manage the script is the same as Manage Teampltes. Just drag and drop.

Three default power scripts with interactive mode.

For example, select a file and run “Copy to”, a file chooser dialog will disappear and you can select the folder where you want copy the file to. If the target is exist, it will display a dialog and stop the work.

And multiple selection is supported.

I only wrote the three scripts with interactive, in the future, more power scripts will be added. Such as convert pictures, music or videos. This should take much time.

Of course, the nautilus scripts is supported too. Just drag and drop them.

What’s next? Waiting for your translation, the power scripts are translatable!

The version will be 0.2.10. I’ve made a mistake while releasing 0.2.8, so the 0.2.9 is used:)
