It does so both when right clicking on a the folder icon or on the contents of an opened symbolic link.

Compile in the standard GNU fashion:
$ tar zxvf nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
$ cd nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr # Note the prefix should be the same as nautilus for the translations to work
# (or e.g. $ ./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable prefix libnautilus-extension`)
$ make
# make install
$ tar zxvf nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
$ cd nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b
(or debuild -us -uc -b)
$ rpmbuild -tb nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
Versions of GNOME 2.20 and below should use 1.0.2, which is the last release supporting them.
Look in in files/ for the appropriate files. Building older versions is
a bit harder, refer to the BUILD file included in the tarball.
None so far for the current version.
If you have a contribution (new ideas, fixes, translations...) to make, please contact me.
