Have you seen the below projects they have similar aims but with
different approaches. I would really appreciate some help with the
projects because the developer kind of stopped coding according to the
activities logs. I also have commit access to both svn's but am lacking
time to program on it)

(somebody that can do the programming would be really great!)
http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/projects/thunar-actions-plugin
http://svn.xfce.org/svn/goodies/thunar-actions-plugin/

(this is in full continuing development)
https://secure.powercraft.nl/svn/packages/trunk/source/pct-thunar-scripts/pct-thunar-scripts-devel/

ps. xfce.org is very slow with the release and all so be patient when
loading the webpage.
