Description: This script is for the easy installation of deb files. Just select the deb file, or files, and select the script in your Scripts folder. Personally, I think for several debs in a row it's easier than using the Gdebi GUI installer.
(I added a 'Deb-Tweaker' on GNOME-Look as well if you want to use it's two scripts before this one. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129857)
To Install:
- Just extract and add the script to your nautilus-scripts folder '~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts'
Indeed. It's just easier to use the command line if you are say wanting to install several debs, which is what this script essentially does. Basically, for those that know what they plan on installing, and don't need to know the specifics and the details. If not, then Gdebi is the way to go.
Indeed. For something like that it would be great. Also, something like OpenOffice from their website, as that has like 20+ debs.
Personally, I use it to easily install those various debs I find that aren't in any repo, or updates with the same idea. Also, for handmade debs too.

Ah right, I understand now. This would be very useful in installing say, Globalmenu, which has about a bazillion debs. TY
