01:59: Release 0.1.1

I just posted my first bugfix-release.

More-compact LZMA-compressed archives, along with GPG signatures, are also available in the directory:

I've also decided to post the patches that enable VisualIDs in various versions of Nautilus (2.18 thru 2.24):

If you're using a Debian-based system, using the Nautilus patches is even easier than usual:

  • apt-get source nautilus
  • Copy the 99VisualIDs.patch file for your version of Nautilus into the debian/patches/ subdirectory of the Nautilus package's source-tree.
  • cd into the source-tree and build Nautilus, e.g.:
    • dpkg-buildpkg -rfakeroot -b -us -uc
  • Install your new VisualIDs-capable Nautilus, e.g.:
    • sudo dpkg -i ../*nautilus*.deb

Note that my patches for Nautilus are still somewhat crude at this point--I haven't learnt to use GConf yet, so the way that you enable/disable VisualIDs at run-time is to create/remove the ~/.icons/VisualIDs/scalable directory (which is where the VisualID SVG-files will be cached).
