You are most welcome!  I am very glad I was of assistance.


I think all the Xfce developers, of applications that may be fit in
context menu, (e.g. Parole; See: Xfmedia), or Send To (e.g. Xfburn).

For instance, I want to have .desktop files that would contain only
Action for manipulating or extracting information from PDF files, but
will not appear in Application Menu nor in Open With... menu, i.e.

 Actions=Extract Page;Extract Images;
 
 [Desktop Action Extract Images]
 Exec=pdfimages -f $page -l $page %F nnn.jpg
 Name=Extract Images
 
 [Desktop Action Extract Page]
 Exec=pdftoppm -cropbox -png -f $page -l $page -r 150 "...
 Name=Extract Page


Or for music daemons like MOC

 Actions=Append;Playit;
 
 [Desktop Action Append]
 Exec=mocp --append %F
 Name=Append in mocp
 
 [Desktop Action Playit]
 Exec=mocp --playit %f
 Name=Play it in mocp


Or Cmus (using cmus-remote)

 Actions=Queue;Play;
 
 [Desktop Action Queue]
 Exec=cmus-remote --queue %F
 Name=Queue in C* Music Player
 
 [Desktop Action Play]
 Exec=cmus-remote --file %f
 Name=Play in C* Music Player


Or installing packages with a command-line package manager like spkg.

and etceteras.


But I do not have an ordered way to do so; I need to resort to
Edit/Configure custom actions... which I like to use only against
directories, not with document or media files.


So far, the above IS indeed possible only in KDE under "ServiceMenus".

You may see the followings in action at page #5 (What is PeaZip)
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/peazip_help.pdf

KDE3 (Konqueror)
/opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/peazipadd.desktop

 [Desktop Action peazipadd]
 Exec=peazip -add2archive %F
 Icon=tar
 Name=Archive with PeaZip
 
 [Desktop Entry]
 Actions=peazipadd;
 Encoding=UTF-8
 Name=peazipadd
 Name[en_US]=peazipadd
 ServiceTypes=all/all


KDE4 (Dolphin)
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/peazipadd.desktop

 [Desktop Action peazipadd]
 Exec=peazip -add2archive %F
 Icon=peazip
 Name=Archive with PeaZip
 
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Service
 Actions=peazipadd;
 Encoding=UTF-8
 Name=peazipadd
 Name[en_US]=peazipadd
 Icon=peazip
 ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/all


We need to encourage more to use this feature.
So it should be with Thunar, if not possible.
Ordered, flexible, moveable, and easy.
