[Thunar-dev] [SPAMKLASSAT av SU] Permission denied error while creating custom command

[Carl Ibbotson]

yes - thanks for the reply. That is what I was trying to do, but as I 
mentioned in my original post, I couldn't do this as I had a "permission 
denied" error, and I didn't know where the problem was.

I eventually worked it out, in case anyone else has this problem, check 
the ownership on ~/.local/share/applications
