Nautilus Extension for Thumbs.db eradicate

This extension remove a Thumbs.db file when you navigate in a folder.
Source code: http://www.kokuban.com.ar/uploads/nauti … mbs.tar.gz
Requirements: With Nautilus is enough.
Installing: Just do "make install" in root.

I make it at first time in Python, 2 years later in C. Yay!
If I've done something wrong, please tell me where I went wrong. Like ugly code, bad way to wrote code. Missing flags at Makefile. etc.

I'm sure the code gives no errors. I hope...

Oh, thanks to help to eradicate those parasites called Thumbs.db

Re: Nautilus Extension for Thumbs.db eradicate

What is your motivation to do this using a Nautilus extension?
Instead, employing 'find' (findutils) seems more appropriate for this task.

KISS is fine too.

There is not motivation, the nautilus extension is just an excuse to learn GLib, C and Makefile :3

But in practical purpose: Thumbs.db is a Windows Rubish, something to forget quickly.
Install and forget, ftw!
