In one of my previous posts I have written about "nautilus-open-terminal" which let you open terminal wherever you want but there are many other Nautilus addons which can make our life a little bit easy. They are Nautilus-Image-Converter, Nautilus-Wallpaper and Nautilus-Actions.
Nautilus-Image-Converter : This package adds a "Resize Images..." menu item to the context menu of all images. This opens a dialog where you set the desired image size and file name. A click on "Resize" finally resizes the image(s) using ImageMagick's convert tool.
To install it just issue this command in the terminal "sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-converter"
Nautilus-Wallpaper : This is my favourite addon. nautilus-wallpaper is a Nautilus extension that adds the ability to set your desktop wallpaper from the context menu. Just right-click on your selected image and select "Set as Wallpaper" from the menu.
To install it just issue this command in the terminal "sudo apt-get install nautilus-wallpaper"
Nautilus-Actions : Nautilus-actions is an extensions for nautilus which allow to add arbitrary program to launch through the nautilus popup menu of selected files.
It allows you to define custom action or commands for certain types of files or files with names matching your description. Each time you right-click on one or several selected files in nautilus, nautilus-actions will look at its configured actions to see if a program has been setup for this selection. If it is the case, it will add an item in the menu that allow you to execute the program on the selected files.
To install it just issue this command in the terminal "sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions"
Enjoy!

Do you know any nautilus add-ons that will allow searching for files by it's content?
For example if I am looking for a file that contains the word "internet" in it.
How do I do it?
