Custom actions (request) #151

Open Kzer-Za opened 7 years ago

Kzer-Za commented 7 years ago

In many ways Polo is already ahead of my current favorite Thunar (which is why I'm so interested in Polo, I have already posted several issues and requests, I hope that I am not stretching your patience with posting several requests at once), but Thunar currently has one trump card: custom actions. One can add their own actions to the context menu there. E.g., I have custom actions for copying brief and full names of all selected files (i.e. names per se and "path/name"s), pasting clipboard content as a text file, and some other actions.

It would be really cool if there was such a possibility in Polo. What would be even better is if Polo took it a step further and allowed to put such custom actions not only in the context menu but also in regular menus (File->..., Edit->...) and on the panel (with buttons like Home, View, Toggle terminal, etc).

Adding support for Nemo actions is planned - #4 Once this is implemented you will be able to create custom actions in the format used by Nemo file manager, and the actions will show up in Polo's context menu.

Feel free to request as many features as you like. Good ideas are always useful.
