[Thunar-dev] folder actions

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Hi,

on

http://www.scratchpost.org/patches/thunar-folder-actions.patch

I added the ability to execute applications that work on a folder
(compress, view images, find, ...).

How to use it:

create /usr/share/applications/full-text-search.desktop

content:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=full-text-search
Exec=foobarbaz
MimeType=inode/directory;x-directory/normal; 
con=search
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Categories=XFCE;Filesystem;
#OnlyShowIn=;
NoDisplay=true

then run "update-desktop-database".

Then quit and restart thunar.

You'll see a menu/tool buttons to the right of the path bar (also
knows as "location buttons").

This is a first step. In a second step, it would be nice to:
- use the desktop file's icon for the tool button
- add the entries to the context menu of a path button too
- make the tool bar editable
- support desktop actions?
but the latter things aren't implemented yet.

cheers,
  Danny
