74 <title>Introduction</title>
76 &prodname; is a &nautilus; extension whose principal function
77 is to allow the user to add arbitrary actions to the file manager
78 context menus. These actions may be organized in menus and submenus,
79 exported and shared with other desktop environments.
82 The &appname; application is the user interface which lets you precisely
83 configure how, where and when your actions should appear in &nautilus;
84 context menus, and how they will be executed.
87 &appname; provides the following features:
91 <para>Define and configure actions from scratch.</para>
94 <para>Organize actions into menus, submenus and so on.</para>
97 <para>Import and export actions and menus from and to outside world.</para>
102 &prodname; also comes with additional features such as:
107 A &nautilus; plugin which exports in real time to D-Bus the currently
113 A command-line program which is able to run any action.
116 Associated with the D-Bus interface, this program lets the user
117 run any action from a keyboard shortcut, applying this action
118 to the item(s) currently selected in the file manager.
123 A command-line program which is able to create a new action.
128 All these features are more thoroughly described in the global
129 &prodname; documentation.
