       <summary>Bulk rename utility</summary>
       <description>If set, Nautilus will append URIs of selected files and treat the result as a command line for bulk renaming. Bulk rename applications can register themselves in this key by setting the key to a space-separated string of their executable name and any command line options. If the executable name is not set to a full path, it will be searched for in the search path.</description>

old-3.18-gtk-typeahead.patch

From cfc221d511b0c9416ff9dbf4bbd7123c7bbdc60c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Thomas Martitz <kugel@rockbox.org>

Subject: [PATCH] filechooser: restore pre-3.16 type-ahead-find with setting
 (off by default)

The previous type-ahead-find was loved by many people, so removing it without
possibility to restore was not nice to them. This commit re-introduces it again
with a default-off seting so that the new default search-as-you-type is
untouched, for those who don't consider the new search a viable replacement.

2.5.0

This is based on jthurner's modification of Daniel Wyatt's original patch.

Is this patch meant to be applied against 3.18 from git.gnome.org?
https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/snapshot/nautilus-3.18.0.zip

Or is it meant to be applied against nautilus-git on github?

Thanks :)

as far as I can tell it applies successfully to both (for now)
