Install fonts directly from nautilus
Use cases
Installing multiple fonts is tedious. I have to open all the files individually and install them separately.
Or
Copy the files to ./local/share/fonts and update font-cache. For which I have to open terminal.
Desired behavior
Have an Install Font option below Open option in the context menu for the font files like in Windows 10. Install Fonts for multiple font files. This will install the fonts optionally with a progress bar/GUI showing the following steps:
- Copying the fonts
- Updating font-cache / Installing fonts
- Done (close automatically or wait for user to close dialog)
If not the progress bar/GUI, any indication that the fonts have been installed like a notification or anything else would suffice.
(Optional) When installing multiple fonts, detect their font family and place the fonts into the respective folder.
Benefits of the solution
Ease of installing (multiple) fonts. Nautilus will be more user/beginner friendly.
