@Cay Horstmann: This is not a Nautilus extension but you can mount your zip files with Archive Mounter (which is part of gvfs which is part of Gnome), so they became viewable with nautilus.

Is there an extension for showing the contents of zip files inside Nautilus (i.e. without using file-roller with its very different display style)?

Thereis also this nice extension(of which I’m the author ^^), which allow to merge directories for more easily organise data: http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Nautilus+Easy-Union?content=108133 .

Most of these can just be done with nautilus scripts. What I’d like (since it’s not in nautilus already) is an extension that adds “Invert Selection” functionality, like in in rox-filer. I’d also like copy functionality like in ROX, where it brings up a dialog, you rename the file, and can then drag it to its destination. I hate that whole windows apeing ‘(copy)’ crap.

Good ones. Really useful. I used to always think, I’m the only one who keeps forgetting where the “set as wallpaper” button on Linux(Gnome) is
