====== Custom actions ======

Thunar allows users to add custom actions to the file and folder context menus (by the use of the ''thunar-uca'' plugin, part of the Thunar distribution, in the ''plugins/'' subdirectory). You can setup new actions in the **Custom Actions** dialog, available via the **Configure custom actions...** item in the **Edit** menu.
