NAME

UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus

SYNOPSIS

use UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus;
my $nautilus = new UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus ();
my @paths = $nautilus->paths();

ABSTRACT

UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus is simply an OOPerl wrapper around the data provided by the nautilus(1) file manager's scripts feature.

DESCRIPTION

nautilus(1) is a GNOME file manager that has a "right-click" menu for user made scripts (found in the user's ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ directory). This is an OOPerl interface to the environment variables provided to the scripts during runtime by nautilus. When you use any of the UI::Dialog meta classes (UI::Dialog, UI::Dialog::GNOME, etc.) access to this backend is provided via the $d->nautilus method. ie: replace $nautilus with $d->nautilus in the synopsis example (provided you made $d with something like my $d = new UI::Dialog...). Also, UI::Dialog and friends only load this module when you first use the $d->nautilus method (this may silently fail, but you can test by ref() for success).

EXAMPLE
    my ($h,$w,$x,$y) = $nautilus->geometry();
