[Solved] Custom actions in Thunar doesn't display at all.

I have came across a few websites stating some custom actions for Thunar -
crunchbang
ubuntu

I tried inputting the stated commands to Thunar, but it doesn't display at all in mine.

I tried "gksu thunar %f" ( Opens current folder with root permissions.) , but when I right click in a directory, this context action still doesn't appear.

OS : Backbox Linux 3.1.3

I restarted the system, no results too. Smilie

Oh okay, I solved the issue.

Apparently, the "apperance conditions" under the custom action refer to the entity which I am right-clicking from, it does not refer to the contents inside.
