The context menu in nautilus shows the entry of clamtk with the following label: "b'Scan directory for threats...'".

Eike,

The nautilus issue is fixed in the latest clamtk-gnome, available here:

https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/-/wikis/Downloads

Just download the latest deb and double-click.

Note that I don't make a clamtk-nautilus: only clamtk and clamtk-gnome are applicable here. I would remove that and add clamtk 6.06 and clamtk-gnome 0.05 from the Downloads page above, and use those.

Let me know if you have further questions.

respectfully,
Dave M

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dave M (dave-nerd)]

Hi,

Apparently this should be reassigned to the maintainer of this package.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamtk/+bug/1895802/comments/1 .

Also, the 5.xx series is very old and should not be used.

Let me know if there are further questions.

respectfully,
Dave M
