*Nautilus Scripts:
download the scripts from here ( ref. http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ )
Uncompress and copy to
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts ( version Nautilus 2.22.3* )
now just right click a file and check the scripts options, and enjoy it!
*Prior to Nautilus release 1.0.5, the scripts directory was ~/Nautilus/scripts. Since 1.0.5, it is ~.gnome/nautilus-scripts, although there was some confusion about the scripts directory being in ~/.nautilus/scripts
