Prerequisite
Before creating the actions (which are desktop files), first create its directory/folder by copy-pasting the below command in terminal:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions
The last two directories in the above line have now been created recursively. You can as well create them one inside the other by file manager. If you prefer this method and can’t see the first hidden directory (.local
) in your Home
(~/
) press Ctrl+h
to make it (and all hidden files and directories) appear.
Below actions are just examples. You can use them and create your owns based on them.
“Edit as root” custom action
Create and edit the action file (rootedit.desktop) either by using file manager or by issuing these terminal commands one at a time (replace juffed
with your text editor if it’s different):
touch ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/rootedit.desktop juffed ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/rootedit.desktop
Paste the below content in rootedit.desktop
:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Action Name=Edit as Root Icon=dialog-password Profiles=profile-zero; [X-Action-Profile profile-zero] Exec=gksu juffed %f Name=Default profile
Replace juffed
with your text editor if it’s different and replace gksu
with kdesu
if you use kdesu
.
“Set as wallpaper” custom action
Create and edit the action file (wallpaper.desktop) either by using file manager or by issuing these terminal commands one at a time (replace juffed
with your text editor if it’s different):
touch ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/wallpaper.desktop juffed ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/wallpaper.desktop
Paste the below content in wallpaper.desktop
:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Action Name[en]=Set As Wallpaper Icon=user-desktop Profiles=profile-zero; [X-Action-Profile profile-zero] MimeTypes=image/*; Exec=pcmanfm-qt -w %f Name[en]=Default profile SelectionCount==1
