I read the explanation to add a Custom Action, and how to remove them. But I'd like to remove the "delete" custom Action to keep only those I want.
Is it possible to Remove defaults custom actions, or to select them or do we have to keep some Custom Actions like "Delete" or others ?
And if yes, how can we manage ?
As far as I understand.. you want to remove the "Delete" action in Thunar.
Keep in mind that those are "Default Actions" not "Custom Actions". They are in the Thunar's source code.
In order to remove the "Delete" default action you should download the source code, edit, and then recompile it.
NOTE: In my case I'm running Xubuntu 13.04 with Thunar 1.6.2
You can try the following:
1) Open a Terminal and install the necessary packages.
sudo apt-get install build-essential2) Install build dependencies
sudo apt-get build-dep thunar3) Create a folder to download the source code.
mkdir ~/Downloads/src
cd ~/Downloads/src
4) Download the source code.
apt-get source thunar5) Edit the the file "thunar-standard-view.c"
mousepad thunar-1.6.2/thunar/thunar-standard-view.cYou should remove the line number "402" and save the changes.
{ "delete", GTK_STOCK_DELETE, N_ ("_Delete"), NULL, NULL, G_CALLBACK
(thunar_standard_view_action_delete), },
Before:
After:
6) Go to the "thunar-1.6.2" folder to build the deb packages.
cd thunar-1.6.2/dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b7) Now you can install the deb packages.
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *deb
8) Finally you can logout and Login to see the changes.
9) Your thunar file manager should look like this:
(without the "Delete" Action")
hope it helps.
