I just upgraded to 17.04 from 16.04 via the two-step. The upgraded Nautilus, version 3.20.4, does not appear to have the option to display icons in the contextual menus -- as explained and demonstrated in this post.
I looked in Dconf Editor
, and org.gnome.desktop.
no longer has an interface
option. That is where the icons were surfaced in previous versions.
Here is a similar post that shows the problem for another version of Nautilus, but the sole proposed solution didn't work.
Does anyone know how to get the contextual menus back? Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool
is close to my favorite tool, and custom icons make my experience more fluid and efficient.
