Drag-and-drop file onto script in Nautilus

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5387 / 1 Year ago, thu, december 29, 2022, 6:32:40

In Windows Explorer (and other file managers) if you drag a file onto a script/executable, then it runs the script/executable with that file as the first argument.

Is it possible to get a similar behaviour in Nautilus?
(Would I have to use .desktop files / launchers?)

How about other linux file managers?
