# Thunar Custom Actions
[](https://travis-ci.org/cytopia/thunar-custom-actions)
The following actions can also be used in nautilus or any other file manager that supports custom actions.
I personally prefer thunar because of speed.
If any of the actions don't work anymore (especially the upload ones), please report here, so I can fix it.
---
**Latest added action**:
* `thunar-gpg-sign.sh`
* `thunar-gpg-verify-signature.sh`
* `thunar-video-to-gif.sh`

**Note:** The pastebin API only allows 25 pastes per free account per every 24 hours. I have added two API keys inside the source. If however you plan on using this thunar action, make sure to get your own API key and replace it. The second thought I had is not to use the API directly, but try to use the normal upload form via curl so that no API key is required at all.
**Todo:** Expand file type recognition to set the proper syntax highlighting scheme for var `PB_API_FORMAT`.

## General Setup
All actions require the `-f` parameter which specifies the file to work on. Prior Thunar/Nautilus integration you can test them all on the command line to make sure they do what they are supposed to do:
```bash
thunar-action.sh -f /path/to/file
```
The equivilent thunar command would be:
```bash
/path/to/thunar-action.sh -f %f
```
**Note about substitutions in Thunar**:
```bash
%f The path to the first selected file
%F The paths to all selected files
%d Directory containing the file that is passed in %f
%D Directory containing the files that are passed in %F
%n The first selected filename (without path)
%N The selected filenames (without paths)
```
## TODO / Ideas
* Image: convert from ... to anything via list (dropdown or radio) of target formats (jpg, png, gif, etc). Possibly also some convert options via slider or checkboxes.
* Video: encode/re-encode videos to target format (dropdown or radio for target formats). Also some ffmpeg quality options via slider, textfields and/or checkboxes
* Video to gif
