[Thunar-dev] Thunar in xubuntu edgy launched with wrong settings?

[Jelle de Jong]

No this isn't it. The file i send has been made executable like a normal
execution script. Like I said it  works in a normal terminal and it
works in the thunar version of xubuntu dapper. But in xubunu edgy it
stops working together with a lot of other scripts.

You can test it. In the script is all the info you need to make your own
 custom thunar action.

I get errors like this:

/home/jelle/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh: 102: query+=
"/mnt/hda3/xx2216.odt": not found
-ne \E[32m
