I'm playing around with get_iplayer (fantastic) it's running every few hours to grab any new episodes of whatever....

After it has finished grabbing anything new i'd like to change the emblem of ~/Videos to add a plus or star (nautilus emblem preferably)

Do i go about this via nautilus?
Do i need to change something in gnome-config?
I'm sure this can't be FS level?

Cheers for any links and advice.

  • I wanted to give +1 for your question. However, I refrain from doing so as I see you neither up-voted nor accepted any of your two answers. – ypnos May 18 '10 at 02:14
  • Yes i know, very sorry to both answerers but i have not had any time to revisit this problem (or the project). An accepted answer will be coming, i haven't forgotten about either. – Question Mark May 19 '10 at 14:48

There's a package called libnautilus that provides tools for working with nautilus, including emblems. It's what Dropbox uses, for example, to add emblems showing sync status. You could try looking at the source of that.
