Add files to Totem playing list from Nautilus
This Nautilus script is used to add multimedia files to the Totem playing list. What files are considered as multimedia is user-defined.
Installation: put it in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ directory and enable the executable attribute.
Usage: after editing the multimedia file extensions list within the script, select some files and append them to Totem’s playing list from the right-click menu.
Version: 0.3
Requires: Zenity, Totem
Download the script from the link below:

Update: Please use Jim’s method described in the comments. It’s by far a more decent solution! Thanks Jim :-)

Or just use nautilus-actions-config and use the following settings:
Label: Tooltip: Add to totem playlist
Icon:/usr/share/pixmaps/totem.xpm
Action:totem

This is an excellent tip!
Until today I hadn’t given much attention to the nautilus-actions-config utility. It’s very neat.
Thanks :)
