Since version 3.4 Nautilus does not provide any more by default the possibility to add emblems to folders and files. This extension adds this capability to the Properties context menu. The extension is still in alpha stage, e.g. version 0.1.0 from DebianWheezy does not allow to remove emblems. This feature is added in the version from November 2013, however, it is necessary to refresh the Nautilus window (e.g. F5) after each change to see the added or removed emblem.
allows to open a terminal in arbitrary local or distant folders. It provides a right-click "Open Terminal" option in any Nautilus window.
