Nautilus Scripts

Nautilus is the default file manager for ubuntu yet it lacks some basic features like getting a terminal at the current directory, getting root at the current directory, etc…

Nautilus Scripts to the rescue, just install the scripts and you get a bunch of utilities on your right click on your favourite file manager.
