In Thunar, how to "Open Terminal Here" for .txt or .dat files?

cstrieder · 03-01-2009, 06:29 PM

Hi,

in Thunar it is possible to "Configure custom actions..."(in the "Edit menu"). This custom action will happen when we right click any file or folder.

I want to open Terminal in the current folder, when I right click a .dat or .txt file.

I tried

exo-open --working-directory %d --launch TerminalEmulator

and, in "Appearance Conditions", "File Pattern"

*.txt;*.dat

and selected "Text Files".

But this not work.

Some one have did this yet? Can help me please.

Thanks.

The easiest is to move up a directory level, then right click on the directory where you want Terminal to open, and select Open Terminal here in the pop-up menu.

I think you need to change the %d to %f
