Integration with the Nautilus File Browser

If .map files (the files used to store map data in the original Fracas) are associated with OpenFracas in the file manager, double-clicking a map file should open OpenFracas with that map file loaded. This has not been the case so far, and was not in our last release, but our next release (whenever that may be) should remedy this via the installation package. (at least on Linux - we're still looking into integration with Windows).

Additionally, another nice touch that we've been working on is thumbnail integration wtih nautilus. Now, when opening a nautilus file browser windows to view Fracas .map files, you will be able to see thumbnail previews of the maps. Here you can see a nautilus file browser showing thumbnails for a collection of maps from OpenFracas, and from the Homebrew Maps page taken off of the original Fracas's site.
