Simple GTK# application to easily set emblems for files and folders

R7.Emblems is simple GTK# frontend for gvfs-info and gvfs-set-attribute utilities, "inspired" by lack of emblem support in lastest Nautius and it's derivatives. New nautilus-emblems / nemo-emblems packages are too buggy for use (at least for now), so I've decided to continue my work on R7.Emblems.

Shortcuts for context menus for Nautilus (r7-emblems-action.desktop) and Nemo (r7-emblems.nemo_action) are provided. You can also try to use R7.Emblems with any gvfs-based file manager, or it also can be used as separate application.

Note: To get full control on Nautilus actions, I recommend using nautilus-actions package.

Binary package contains script to install application in /usr/local prefix, but consider it experimental - I planning to replace them by autotools-style makefiles in near future.

wget https://github.com/roman-yagodin/r7-emblems/releases/download/1.1-alpha/R7.Emblems-1.1-Binaries.tar.gz
tar -zxvf R7.Emblems-1.1-Binaries.tar.gz
cd R7.Emblems-1.1-Binaries
./install.sh

After this, according to which filemanager you like to install context menu action, run:

./install-action-nautilus.sh

or

./install-action-nemo.sh

Just run uninstall script from program folder, like this:

cd /usr/local/lib/r7-emblems
./uninstall.sh

R7.Emblems do have english and russian translations. Feel free to add more - sources contain complete MonoDevelop solution, including translation project.
