Purer extensions interface for Nemo

[worldofpeace]

So installed extensions I guess will get linked at /run/current-system/sw/lib/nemo/extensions-3.0 and NixOS will link things at lib.

It's very popularized within nixos to patch file managers with extensions like

• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/xfce/core/thunar/thunarx_plugins_directory.patch

so we can set which directory to load extensions from via an environment variable.
And as you've mentioned, we'd use the symlinkJoin wrapper

• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/xfce/core/thunar/wrapper.nix

and some glue in the nixos module

nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/xfce.nix

If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them.

Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel.

So installed extensions I guess will get linked at /run/current-system/sw/lib/nemo/extensions-3.0

How would this work on non-NixOS systems?

That wasn't the suggested solution but the status quo. Currently that will not work on any other platform but NixOS.

Getting my Nemo extensions back is still rotting on my backlog …
