Improve Thunar File Manager with Custom Actions | Linux Tutorial
In this video I'll show you how to create custom actions in Thunar file manager for Linux. Custom actions can help you increase your productivity and improve your workflow by allowing you to execute commands with just one click of a mouse.
I know that audio quality of this video is pretty bad, and it's because I recorded it with a cheap headset microphone. For now I'm just testing the waters of content creation, but if I see that I can produce videos that are both interesting and entertaining, I will buy a proper mic.
Also, if you see black bars around this video, it's because my monitor has an unusual aspect ratio. Next time I'll crop the footage, but since I already edited it I'll leave it like that.
