Description: Nautilus scripts that provide quick access to different gpsbabel conversions. There is one for each type of conversion I use. Feel free to add others.
Thank you for the reply, but I don't understand the syntax in the script. I am not a programmer by any means. I did find a cool front end called gebabbel that can run the conversions with a GUI. I would love to get the nautilus script working right though.
I would love to modify this for myself, but I am an idiot.
How would I modify this to convert a .gpx to a .wpt file? I tired modifying one of your scripts and fine that the resulting file is corrupt.
first thing I'd do is get the gpsbabel command line and make sure that works.
Then you can use scripting techniques to generate the output file name like I did or prompt for it.
Remember, with nautilus you can use any interpreted language to do your bidding, you just have to know the script. This is a shell script (common .sh file) which runs a shell command on the selected file.

I highly recommend learning some scripting. It's well worth it believe me.
