I selected these scripts on the basis of two facts.
(a) it should be useful enough in day to day desktop usage
(b) it should not require any other software to be installed
How to install these scripts:
(a) download each script (.sh) files from links given below
(b) copy these files to Scripts folder which is
/home/XXXXX/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
where XXXXX is to be replaced with your own home directory name.Now whenever we right click inside Nautilus file manager a "Scripts" item will be shown where you can access these scripts.
Note: Credits and license of scripts can be found at respective files.
