A small Nautilus extension for quickly copying file/Samba paths

nautilus-copypath's Issues

Add configuration via environment variables

Configuration variables I can think of ATM are:
NAUTILUS_COPYPATH_QUOTE_PATHS - 1 to put quotes around all copied paths; otherwise 0. Default is 0.
NAUTILUS_COPYPATH_WINPATH - 1 to display and extra option to convert Samba paths to Windows paths on-the-fly; otherwise 0. Default is 0.

NameError: global name 'items' is not defined

Thanks for the extension. Though I cant seem to get it working. This is the error I am seeing. Thoughts?

Thanks for your time.

Properly escape parenthesis

Not sure if this is fixable, but thought I should make the issue known. In order to 'cd' into a directory with parenthesis, they need to be escaped. This is how a path with () is currently copied:

/Music/Albums/Wolfmother/WOLFMOTHER\ Wolfmother\ (PBTHAL\ vinyl)

When it should be...

/Music/Albums/Wolfmother/WOLFMOTHER\ Wolfmother\ \(PBTHAL\ vinyl\)

In short, each parenthesis requires a backslash in front of it.

Thanks again for your work.

Allow for custom separator when copying multiple paths

For me it'd make sense to use : for example.

Combine both extensions into one

Doing this after #7 will be ideal, since it will essentially require zero additional work.

Support GTK4

When trying to run this in a recent distro with GTK4 installed, the extension fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/fynn/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/nautilus-copypath.py", line 9, in <module>
    gi.require_version('Nautilus', '3.0')
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 117, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s is already loaded with version %s' %
ValueError: Namespace Nautilus is already loaded with version 4.0

Tested this on Fedora 38.

Add debian binary packages

Handling spaces in paths

Thua extension is a saving-life thing for the present version of Nautilus.
One drawback for me is that it escapes spaces in filenames / pathnames when I paste them
Would it be a way to avoid this?
