Re: Right click, send to my documents

What I want to do is go to a file in thunar, for example an image file which is in my downloads folder and be able to right click on that file and have a menu which I can send it to my documents folder.

Re: Right click, send to my documents

I'm sure this is as frustrating for you as it is for me. So I've selected the 'send to my documents' and moved it up the list but I just don't get where the right click comes into it. I see the box where you can press a key to perform the action but right click isn't a key.Sorry to be a pain.

Re: Right click, send to my documents

I'm still trying to sort this out. I'm not seeing where I enter 'right click' as the action. You say the right click menu entry is the very last item in the custom action window but I don't see it. I find where I can press a key to 'launch' the action but not right click.

Re: Right click, send to my documents

I have followed the directions exactly, copy and paste the command but I don’t get the ‘send to my documents’ when I right click a file in Thunar. Please advise.
Just to note I am trying this on a 32bit installation.

Right click, send to my documents

If I insert a memory stick it opens Thunar with the files on there listed. It would be useful if I could right click on a particular file and have the option to ‘send to my documents’ but this is not available. How can I add this option when right clicking.
I’m running the latest Mx with xfce.
Thanks

Re: udates in MX 19.4 386 xfce failing [Solved]

That seems to have done the job. It’s updating now. It’s quite an old machine so taking its own sweet time.
Thank you for prompt reply.

Thanks D.O.
I get more or less the same message as my first post about changing stable to old stable etc.
