Create a Nautilus extension

Since I'm too lazy, know far too little about UX to implement #3 (closed), most of the userbase is using GNOME because of Tails/Debian, the plan is to write a small, nice, well-integrated and usable Nautilus extension instead.

Design

• Read the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines
  • Especially the Design patterns part
• Decide how we want to display failures to the user
  • With an app notification?
  • With an infobar
  • Show a button in the ~~app-notification/~~infobar to allow the user to spawn a popup with a list view in it, detailing why the files couldn't be successfully processed
• Decide if we want to allow multiple-selection
  • Yes we do, because it's convenient for pictures gallery
• Decide if we want to allow users to select a folder
  • Yes we do, but this implies that we do need a way to display a massive amount of processing failure, since users will likely do interesting things like trying to clean / or /dev.
• Find a way to display failed cleaning, even for a big number of files
  • Find a way to convey why the cleaning process failed.

Implementation

• Display a progress bar, since cleaning can take quite some time. Maybe something like this
  • Thread the cleaning process
• Find a way to put the extension in the testsuite. This is important because I'm not using Nautilus at all, but most of the userbase is/will.
  • This is going to be fun, because there is no documentation on how to do this.

Packaging

• Find a way to package the extension in Debian
  • Currently, the required version (1.2.) of nautilus-python isn't packaged in Debian.
  • I don't want to put a hard-dependency on GNOME nor on Nautilus

Misc

• Find some guinea pigs volunteers (*wink* *wink* @sajolida *wink* *wink* @emmapeel) to test the usability of the chosen implementation.
