"XML Animated Background Creator" is a Nautilus script to easily generate XML wallpaper slideshows (wallpapers that change automatically) for GNOME 3.
There used to be many such applications for GNOME 2, but they can't change the background anymore because they still use GConf, while the background settings are now stored in DConf. And since XML Animated Background Creator is easy to use and install on any Linux distribution, I've upgraded it to work with GNOME 3 (it works with any "shell": Unity, GNOME Shell, fallback session).
To install XML Animated Background Creator, download the Nautilus script, extract it in your home folder and run the following commands in a terminal:
cd ~/XMLBACK
./install.sh

Nautilus Actions Extra provides a set of useful scripts for Nautilus 3. Among the included scripts/actions are: advanced search, open file with Gedit as user or root, set image as wallpaper, mount or unmount ISO files, verify checksum, convert image and audio files, batch rename (pyRenamer), add emblems and more.
One of the most interesting scripts included is called "Emblemize2" (you can access it by right clicking on a file or folder and selecting Advanced Actions > Emblemize2), which lets you add emblems to files and folders in Nautilus 3 - a feature that has been removed from Nautilus -, but unlike the script we wrote about a few days ago, you can see the emblems before applying them.

Split Lossless is a Nautilus script created by WebUpd8 reader CokiDVD to split single lossless audio files (ape, flac, wavpack) by .cue file into flac or mp3 (320kbps or 192kbps). Further more, the script also adds tags to the new files so all the resulting flac or mp3 files will have the artist, album, title and genre tags set up automatically.
The latest Split Lossless version (released a couple of days ago) comes with two new features: track name editor and album information editor and improvements such as: show selected tracks on main window.
Split Lossless is available in a PPA so to install it in Ubuntu, use the commands below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cokicd/split-lossless
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install split-lossless

We've covered the script before but a new version has been released, adding many improvements: the script now uses YAD (also used by Y PPA Manager) so the interface is cleaner compared to Zenity and also, it now comes with a PPA that includes all the dependencies (which cannot be found in the official Ubuntu repositories) so you only have to add one PPA to get everything working.
