NAME

	UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus

SYNOPSIS

	use UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus;
	my $nautilus = new UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus ();
	my @paths = $nautilus->paths();

ABSTRACT

       UI::Dialog::Backend::Nautilus is simply an OOPerl wrapper around the data provided by the nautilus(1) file manager's scripts feature.

DESCRIPTION

       nautilus(1) is a GNOME file manager that has a "right-click" menu for user made scripts (found in the user's ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
       directory). This is an OOPerl interface to the environment variables provided to the scripts during runtime by nautilus. When you use any
       of the UI::Dialog meta classes (UI::Dialog, UI::Dialog::GNOME, etc.) access to this backend is provided via the $d->nautilus method. ie:
       replace $nautilus with $d->nautilus in the synopsis example (provided you made $d with something like my $d = new UI::Dialog...). Also,
       UI::Dialog and friends only load this module when you first use the $d->nautilus method (this may silently fail, but you can test by ref()
       for success).

       EXAMPLE
	    my @paths = $nautilus->paths();

       DESCRIPTION
		 This method splits the NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS multiline string and returns the ARRAY of selections in the order pro-
		 vided by nautilus.

       RETURNS

       uris( )

       EXAMPLE
	    my @uris = $nautilus->uris();

       RETURNS
	    an ARRAY.

       geometry( )

       DESCRIPTION

       uri_unescape( )

       EXAMPLE
	    my $path = $nautilus->uri_unescape( "file:///path/to/somewhere" );
	    my @paths = $nautilus->uri_unescape( "file:///path/to/somewhere",
						 "file:///yet/another/path" );

       DESCRIPTION
		 This is the method used to unescape the NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI in the path() method. This method is derived from the
		 URI::Escape module which is not included in the Perl core modules yet is vitally necessary for the path() method to function in a
