 ===== Customising =====
 ==== Custom Actions ====
-You can add //custom actions// to the right-click menu (context menu). These are shown in the context menu for all files((FIXME: Actually, I think you can set them to appear in specfic contexts)). To define them, create a ''.desktop'' file in ''~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/''.

+==== Thumbnails ====
+Like [[Thunar]], and I think other [[GTK]] file managers, you can add support for generating thumbnails for additional kinds of files using [[Tumbler]] (not [[Tumblr]]!; dunno why not Thumbler). To add custom things to Tumbler you just put a little text file in ''/usr/share/thunmbnailers'', which is similar to to a [[file_kinds#desktop|.desktop file]]. I haven't tested if ''~/.local/share/thumbnailers'' works.
+My favourite thing to add is support for generating folder icons for directories of music and films, based on ''folder.jpg'' found inside. This is a thing [[microsoft_windows|Windows]] does by default, and it's nice to have it back. You just need an additional script to tell it how to get the images.
