How to make image editing, running as root and opening terminal easier

There are some interesting packages what make quick-edit of images easier, let you run any script as root and evan open terminal in any place, depend of where are you in Nautilus. That delivered special functions are in the context menu of Nautilus. When you have ones, you can resize or rotate images from context menu and do other interesting things as I have just itemized. There’s no requirement of any running application such as GIMP.

The ‘magic images’ package is called nautilus-image-converter. It delivers resizing images:

and rotating of theirs:

Another package is named nautilus-open-terminal. With this function you can open terminal in this place you just are in Nautilus. Example of use:

Last package is nautilus-gksu and with this package you can run script as root.

Want to install these? Okey, as you wish, just type as root in terminal

apt-get install nautilus-gksu nautilus-image-converter nautilus-open-terminal

It is possible that you will have a problem with installing it from repository, problem with broken packages. I had this problem:

I solved this problem. I had installed nautilus-image-converter by hand and I could install the rest of packages. You can download this package from here for 64bit or from here for 32bit. Of course you can find it by yourself at TuxFinder. If you want to install any DEB package, you have to type in terminal

dpkg -i /path/to/package/packagename.deb

It’s all.
