| nikolam | Hi, I wonder why I don't have an option to open command shell / terminal emulator, in Thunar. I have detailed view by default and selected file in it and there is nowehre I see option to quickly open shell under the same path , as I see. | 10:22 |
| nikolam | I am on Xubuntu 21.10 | 10:22 |
| nikolam | Maybe better to see that upstream, on Xfce | 10:57 |
| KBar | nikolam: do you mean the "Open Terminal Here" menu item? | 11:04 |
| KBar | *context menu item | 11:04 |
| KBar | nikolam: check whether the appropriate custom action is defined: Edit > Configure custom actions… | 11:09 |
| KBar | nikolam: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions#open_terminal_here | 11:09 |
| KBar | Although Xubuntu should have it by default. | 11:10 |
| nikolam | yes but that custom action (that is present) doesn't have any way I see to open, when detailed view is selected and file is selected in it. | 11:17 |
| nikolam | I see it only when I right-click the forlder. I don't see it when File is selsceted and I do right-click. Nor in the menus. | 11:18 |
| nikolam | And I usually don't want to open new terminal under sub-folder of selected folder, but in folder where selected file resides. | 11:19 |
| nikolam | so I don't need to do find a folder>open new terminal>do cd .. | 11:20 |
| nikolam | when I already have file of interest selected. | 11:20 |
| nikolam | KBar, Or more precisely, in "List view" I don't see how I can de-select already selected file, so that folder where file is , is in focus for 'open new terminal' custom action, to open it in the same folder where file is. | 11:22 |
| KBar | nikolam: just fired up my Xubuntu-jammy VM and it works fine. Care to share the content of the custom action? | 11:22 |
| nikolam | And that is the point of new terminal custom action | 11:22 |
| nikolam | KBar, what you tried and works fine? Have you selected file in the list view and then tried to find how to invoke new terminal custom action? | 11:23 |
| nikolam | There is no option to open new terminal, when file is selected in detailed view. | 11:27 |
| nikolam | https://mega.nz/file/wRcE3ZII#bf8gaBWB5UhFkZaP9WT3FntCRYisN5-7xGgAgXubfIM | 11:37 |
| nikolam | exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator | 11:38 |
| KBar | nikolam: yes, selected or unselected, no matter. Open Terminal Here is always present. | 11:38 |
| nikolam | So working directory is not selected when fiel is selected or via RFE there is need to display custom action for new teminal when file is selected and not only the folder | 11:39 |
| nikolam | KBar, in Thunar List view? | 11:40 |
| KBar | nikolam: what am I looking at? What is that link? It shows a Badoo app on Android. Can you post to an Imgur or ImgBB like a normal person? | 11:40 |
| KBar | nikolam: yes in Detailed List view. | 11:40 |
| nikolam | KBar, very sorry. https://mega.nz/file/IME2wR6J#34q3Ac1NqW8tUm3OdmQ2a-8Y3zud6fDiRrYxJGT05Qs | 11:41 |
| nikolam | Ok, I will then need to re-test, because I used to updat eup from 20.04 I think with the same user account on machine and on this account is is doing this | 11:42 |
| KBar | nikolam: make sure "text files" is checked under "Appearance Conditions" tab | 11:42 |
| nikolam | Checksum is some external script that stopped working whan some app the were used for is were stopped shipping in newer Ubuntu | 11:43 |
| KBar | or just check every single box | 11:43 |
| nikolam | KBar, yes, selecting all kinds of files and also 'other files' in custom actions settings fixes it. | 11:44 |
| nikolam | Thanks! :) | 11:44 |
| KBar | nikolam: you deleted the other "Open Terminal Here" | 11:44 |
| KBar | nikolam: the correct command should be: "https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions#open_terminal_here" | 11:44 |
| KBar | oops | 11:44 |
| KBar | Forgot I dont have the Guest Additions installed. | 11:44 |
| KBar | nikolam: there should also be two "Open Terminal Here" entries. The other with: exo-open --working-directory %d --launch TerminalEmulator | 11:45 |
| KBar | but if checking worked, great | 11:45 |
| nikolam | yes it fixes it with displaying "Open Terminal here" oprion, both in Right-click on file and on File> Open Terminal here , but actually it does NOT work to open Terminal it complains that selected file is not the folder path and again fails to open terminal, while file is selected. | 14:26 |
| xu-help24w | Is there a "most popular" linux app for IRC? | 16:08 |
| KBar | xu-help24w: avoid polls please. | 16:09 |
| xu-help24w | No, not a poll, I'm just asking someone of an app that I should use. | 16:09 |
| xu-help24w | Or should I just use the browser? | 16:10 |
| xu-help24w | ... to access ubuntu help | 16:10 |
| Maik | xu-help24w: most distros ship hexchat OOTB and is being used by a lot of people | 16:10 |
| KBar | xu-help24w: you "should" not. use whatever you prefer and comfortable with. it's not w****** | 16:10 |
| xu-help24w | Maik, thx. | 16:11 |
| KBar | xu-help24w: if you dont visit IRC channels that often, a browser should do | 16:11 |
| Maik | xu-help24w: sudo apt install hexchat | 16:11 |
| xu-help24w | KBar, thx | 16:11 |
