Nice Linux filemanager

Customising

Custom Actions

You can add custom actions to the right-click menu (context menu). These are shown in the context menu for all files1). To define them, create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/.

NB: these are also compatible with the nautilus file manager.

Custom Openers

FIXME: Probably a proper name for these, I just made this up.

You can also set custom commands to launch for specific files via

right-click > 'Open With…' 'Custom Command Line', and then entering commands and giving it a name.

I have one to mount .iso files, which is really handy:

udisksctl loop-setup -f %f

Found that here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/537352/gui-to-mount-disk-images-iso-etc-in-xubuntu

FIXME: Actually, I think you can set them to appear in specfic contexts
