Hi altogether,
What I want to achieve is create a /context-menu/ (rightclick)-entry for
scanning files with the *clamscan*-command.
For ubuntu there is a tool called _"nautilus-actions_". With it one can
create right-click-entries.
The most important settings are under the tab "command".
So I configured it this way:
path: xterm
parameter: -fa 'Monospace' -fs 12 -hold -e clamscan %f
working directory: %d
The parameter options are thus: -fa 'Monospace' -fs 12 (setting font and
font-size)
                             : -hold (preventing xterm from shutting
down immediately)
                             : -e (executing the following command
within xterm)
                             : clamscan %f ((first) filename)
Actually this works very well.
When right-clicking on the file to be scanned and clicking on the
respective label (I called it "Dateiscannen") a separate xterm-window
opens and after the scan is
finished the result is displayed until I manually close the xterm-window.
Yet IÂŽve noticed that I can also scan folders with that command (but not
recursively of course, due to the very nature of the specified command).
ItÂŽs always said that everything can be considered to be a file in
Linux. So theoeretically a folder is a file as well and therefore the
/"%f"-parameter/ should be fine
for scanning folders, too.
My question is: Am I right in thinking so or should I use another option
than "%f" or folder-scan?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Greetings
