+13 Ways to Tweak Nautilus File Manager in Linux to Get More Out of it
+======
+Nautilus is GNOME’s default file manager application, and you may have seen it in many Linux distributions.
+
+It’s a good file manager with plenty of features. However, you can enhance your experience by employing some tweaks and tips.
+
+I am going to share such tips and tweaks in this article. Some tweaks may require installing additional Nautilus plugins, while some are built-in but lesser-known features. A few tips are purely cosmetic and just change the look and feel.
+
+### Customizing GNOME’s File Manager
+
+![customizing gnome nautilus file manager][1]
+
+GNOME’s default file explorer used to be called [Nautilus][2]. It is now called Files. However, seasoned Linux users still refer to it as Nautilus. I have used both terms here.
+
+One more thing. **You don’t have to try and install each Nautilus plugin**. Read the article and go with the ones that would be helpful for you.
+
+I have added the Nautilus extension commands for Ubuntu/Debian. If you are using some other distribution, please use your package manager to install them.
+
+#### 1. Show number of items in folders
+
+You can show how many files and folders are inside a folder in GNOME Files.
+
+![Item Count Inside Folder Visible][3]
+
+You don’t need to install any plugins for it. It’s a built-in feature.
+
+Go to the **Preferences** in Nautilus.
+
+![GNOME Files Preferences][4]
+
+Under **Icon View Captions**, set the **First** place to **Size**.
+
+![Nautilus Preferences][5]
+
+#### 2. Add new document creation option in right click context menu
+
+This is a feature that can increase your productivity. Right click on an empty place inside a folder and it should you see the option to create a new, empty text file or document.
+
+It was removed from GNOME a few years back and it is likely to make a come back in the next GNOME release.
+
+To achieve this, you need to create an empty file and name it **New Document**. Then save this file to the Templates directory to get it in the right-click context menu.
+
+![Create a template first in the Templates directory][6]
+
+After this, you should see the option in the right-clikc context menu.
+
+![Nautilus Right Click New Document][7]
+
+You can also add Word documents, PPT presentation options, etc in the right-click context menu similarly.
+
+#### 3. Add a permanent delete option in right-click context menu
+
+By default, Nautilus provides “Move to trash” option in the right-click context menu. If you want to permanently delete a file or folder, you need to **shift+delete** or empty it from the trash.
+
+You can enable Delete Permanent button under the right-click context menu from Nautilus **preferences**.
+
+![Permanent delet option in Nautilus Preferences][8]
+
+Now you will have an option to delete files and folders permanently in the right-click context menu.
+
+![Permanent delete option under right click context menu][9]
+
+#### 4. Completely wipe files and folders from the disk
+
+Even if you permanently delete a file, chances are that the [data could still be recovered][10].
+
+Nautilus provides an extension to wipe files securely and fill the empty places so that data can not be recovered anymore.
+
+Install the Nautilus extension first.
+
+```
+sudo apt install nautilus-wipe
+```
+
+And then restart the file explorer:
+
+```
+nautilus -q
+```
+
+![Wipe out files in Nautilus][11]
+
+#### 5. Enable quick file preview
+
+Quick preview is rather a handy feature for a file manager. KDE’s Dolphin file manager provides it as a built-in feature.
+
+You can preview files such as PDF, text, images, audio, etc. You can scroll documents while in preview.
+
+In Nautilus, you need to install gnome-sushi to get this feature.
+
+```
+sudo apt install gnome-sushi
+```
+
+Now, close all instances of file manager and open it again. To see the preview, select a file and press the Space key.
+
+![Preview Files in Nautilus Using GNOME Sushi][12]
+
+#### 6. Get the list of recently visited directories
+
+Nautilus has the feature to show ‘recently accessed files’. But what about the recently visited folders?
+
+That can also be accessed. On the top left, **right-click on the back arrow** to get the list of previously visited folders.
+
+![list of directories visited][13]
+
+#### 7. Bookmark folders to the left sidebar for quick access
+
+If you frequently access some folders, it would be better to access them from the left sidebar quickly.
+
+It’s quite simple, actually. Select the folder and drag and drop to the left sidebar. The [folder will be added as a bookmark][14].
+
+![Adding a folder as bookmark][15]
+
+You can remove bookmark the same way. Just drag and drop it from the sidebar.
+
+#### 8. Rotate and Resize images with a right click
+
+To enable this functionality, you need to install ImageMagick and nautilus-image-converter.
+
+```
+sudo apt install imagemagick nautilus-image-converter
+```
+
+After it is installed, quit nautilus with *nautilus -q* and re-open nautilus.
+
+Now select the image and [right-click to get resize and rotate images][16].
+
+![Rotate and Resize Images with Nautilus][17]
+
+#### 9. Change the colors of individual folders
+
+If you want to add some color to your file explorer, how about changing the colors of the folders?
+
+You can change icons and colors of all folders by using a different icon and theme.
+
+But you may also opt for just changing the colors of selected few folders.
+
+![Custom Folder Color in Nautilus File Manager][18]
+
+For that, install the following package.
+
+```
+sudo apt install folder-color
+```
+
+Now, quit Nautilus with **nautilus -q** command. Upon re-opening, select a folder and right-click on it. You will find the option to change the color of the folder.
+
+![Change Folder Color Right Click Option][19]
+
+A step further, you can add emblems to files or folders like important, favorite, etc.
+
+![Folder and File Emblem in Nautilus][20]
+
+#### 10. Change icons of individual directories
+
+This one takes me back to the Windows XP era. Nautilus also has the built-in feature to change the icons of selected directories.
+
+To do that, right-click on a folder and go to properties.
+
+![properties dialog box of a directory][21]
+
+From there, select the Icon, browse and choose the image of your choice.
+
+![Changing Folder Icon][22]
+
+#### 11. Open any location in the terminal
+
+No need for any extra steps for this one. From any location in the file manager, just right-click and select ‘Open in terminal’ option.
+
+![Open the current location in a terminal in Ubuntu][23]
+
+It will open a new terminal, and you’ll be in the exact location as the Nautilus file manager.
+
+![location opened in terminal][24]
+
+This comes in handy when you have to do something in the terminal on the files in a particular location. It saves the effort of typing a long path.
+
+#### 12. Open files and folder as root from the file manager
+
+You sometimes want to paste files to restricted directories, like /usr/share/backgrounds. You cannot paste such locations or cannot edit such files unless you are root or use sudo.
+
+You can easily switch do that in the terminal but what about the file manager?
+
+With nautilus-admin extension, you can open files as root within Nautilus. No need to open the terminal and perform sudo actions.
+
+```
+sudo apt install nautilus-admin
+```
+
+Quit Nautilus after installing the plugin:
+
+```
+nautilus -q
+```
+
+You should see the “Open as Administrator” option in the right-click menu now.
+
+![open as admin in nautilus][25]
+
+#### 13. Verify hash checksum of files
+
+There are dedicated tools to [verify checksum of files in Linux][26]. You can also check hashes in the Nautilus file manager with nautilus-gtkhash extension.
+
+```
+sudo apt install nautilus-gtkhash
+```
+
+Now quit nautilus using **nautilus -q** and re-open. Select the file to check hash and go to the **Digests** tab in properties.
+
+![Check Hashes in Nautilus][27]
+
+Now enter the Hash to check and press Hash. It will start calculating the hash.
+
+![Nautilus Checking Hash Progress][28]
+
+After some time, it will show the result (green tick mark if the hash is valid).
+
+![Nautilus Checking Hash Success][29]
+
+#### Bonus: Embed a terminal
+
+In the Nautilus file manager, you can embed a terminal. Each time you change directories, a cd command is initiated and the location in the embedded terminal is also changed.
+
+Installing it requires getting several Python packages first. Here are the commands, use them one by one:
+
+```
+sudo apt install python3-nautilus python3-psutil python3-pip libglib2.0-bin dconf-editor
+sudo pip3 install nautilus-terminal
+sudo nautilus-terminal --install-system
+nautilus -q
+```
+
+![Embedded Terminal in Nautilus][30]
+
+### There are more Nautilus extensions and tweaks
+
+There is no end to customizing the GNOME file manager. I could only include a selected few. A few more I could think of are:
+
+* Opening split view in Nautilus from the hamburger menu
+* Showing or hiding the Places panel from preferences
+* Integrating various cloud storage platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, Nextcloud, Owncloud, etc
+* Deleting items by dragging them into the trash folder
+* Zooming in and out by pressing the Control key and scrolling
+
+Check out the [guide on tweaking the Ubuntu dock][31] if you want more customization.
+
+I hope you find a few interesting ones here. Which ones do you like the most? Do you know some other tweak that I didn’t mention here? Share it in the comments.
