Topic: SOLVED:Thunar - Custom Action Issue

Hey guys,

I have a small question:
When I tried to configure a Custom Action in Thunar v.1.0(still a bit buggy, but ok) with the command:

terminator --command="cd %F" #%F is a 'Thunar' wildcard´

It just opens the terminal and then closes again and I don't understand why.. I tried already similar things like using 'ls´ or 'top´, which just reports me the same issue.

I guess I'm doing something wrong. Can you help me?

greetings,
kmachine

If you dont mind me asking, what is the command supposed to do?

The command should open a terminal and 'cd´ to the given directory name, which is passed from Thunar by the variable %F.

Understood?

Re: SOLVED:Thunar - Custom Action Issue

Doesnt Thunar already have a "Open Terminal Here" command?

exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator

You can just right-click on a folder and it will open a Terminal thats set to that folder.

Yes it had a pre-setting, but that wasn't functioning correctly for me
Wow! I've made a simple change with your command and it's perfectly running now!

Thank you! smile
