  ===== Adding a custom action =====
  
  This section provides a step-by-step introduction to the **Custom Actions** plugin, demonstrating how to add a **Print File** action, which uses xfprint to print text files. We start by opening the **Custom Actions** dialog as explained above. In the dialog, click on the first button in the list of buttons (the one labeled with the ''+''). The **Create Action** dialog will appear, as shown in the screenshot below.

- On the first page, enter ''Print File'' as name and ''Print the selected using xfprint'' as description. Enter ''xfprint4 %f'' as command (the ''%f'' will be replaced with the path to the selected file, as explained in the dialog), and select an icon for the icon (in the screenshot the ''xfprint.svg'' icon was used).
+ On the first page, enter ''Print File'' as name and ''Print the selected using xfprint'' as description. Enter ''xfprint4 %f'' as command (the ''%f'' will be replaced with the path to the selected file, as explained in the dialog), and select an icon for the icon (in the screenshot the ''xfprint.svg'' icon was used). **NB:** Thunar seems to do the sensible thing when passing file/folder names with spaces in them, so don't worry excessively about putting single or double quotes around the "%" placeholder.
  
  Now, continue with the second page (the **Appearance Conditions** page).
