[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.

THUNAR(1)							  [FIXME: manual]							 THUNAR(1)

NAME

       Thunar - File Manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS

       Thunar [options] [[URI]...]

       Thunar [options] --bulk-rename [[URI]...]

       Thunar [options] --quit

DESCRIPTION

       Thunar is a fast and easy to use file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It has been designed from the ground up to be lighweight
       with special focus on usability. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options.

INVOCATION

       Thunar takes a list of URIs for folders that should be opened in new file manager windows or files that should be run using the default
       application for their types. The URIs may be specified as either file: or trash: URIs, absolute paths or paths relative to the current
       directory from which Thunar is being invoked. If no URIs are specified, the current folder will be opened in a new file manager window.

       When the --bulk-rename option is specified no file managers windows will be opened, but instead the URIs will be passed to the bulk
       renamer. The bulk renamer allows to rename several files or folders at once using different renamer modules.

   Options
       -?, --help
	   Print brief help and exit.

       -v, --version
	   Print version information and exit.

       -B, --bulk-rename
	   Open the URIs in a standalone window of the bulk renamer.

       --daemon
	   Do not terminate the Thunar instance when the last window is closed, but keep it running to speed up opening new windows later on. This
	   is the default when spawning Thunar as part of the default Xfce session or when using D-Bus activation.

       --display=DISPLAY
	   Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface.

       -q, --quit
	   Terminate any Thunar instance running in the background (spawned using the --daemon option). This command should be used whenever
	   Thunar is upgraded to a new version to ensure that no old instance is reused.
