#Vlc enqueue software#

I don't have the repo vlc installed but I'd think your best bet would be to browse to file system -> /usr/share/pixmaps To give a vlc icon, click on the icon box and browse to the icon you wish in the pop up. (when a sktop is created on a file a %f is added to the command, leave as is. If you have more than one blue diamond named vlc, check them all to find the one with the vlc -playlist-enqueue command. Inside look for a blue diamond named vlc, right click on -> properties, that's where you can change the display name and icon. for vlc (the XXXXXX is different every timeįor what you wish to do the actual name isn't too important.

I got it working as I wanted and so I wanted to share my tweak with as many free software users as possible and this seemed as good a place as any. I had a search on the net but failed to find a way to get vlc to play nicely with nautilus.
