While using GNOME I have used nautilus-actions package to extend Nautilus functionality.

As we know it is not available in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver.

I like GNOME 2 successor - MATE Desktop Environment and its file-manager - Caja.

What is an alternative for Nautilus Actions in MATE DE?

The alternative is to use Caja and its Caja-actions:

sudo apt-get install caja-actions caja

You can setup anything in caja-actions-config-tool:

Caja-Actions Configuration Tool

The official documentation is built-in when installed and also available in the github repository.

Also Caja has a lot of caja-extensions, so caja-actions is just one of them:

Caja Extensions

Available Extensions:

  • libgtkhash-properties-caja
  • libcaja-seahorse
  • Open terminal - Open terminals from folders
  • libcaja-actions-tracker
  • libcaja-actions-menu
  • Wallpaper - Allows to quickly set wallpaper
  • Python: caja-admin - Python-caja extension
  • Python: folder-color - Python-caja extension
  • Python: deja - Python-caja extension
  • Python: caja-rename - Python-caja extension
  • libeiciel-caja
  • Atril properties - Shows details for Atril documents
  • Engrampa - Allows to create and extract archives
  • Send To - Integrates email clients and Pidgin

Since we can not resurrect the Nautilus, the use of Caja seems appropriate.
