Hi there, everybody. I've been looking through the forums here, and I can't seem to find an answer. I hope this is the right forum. So...

Does anybody know if you can use Gloobus with Thunar? I have it installed, and it works perfectly with Nautilus. Is there a way to start Gloobus with the spacebar in Thunar, though?

Please don't take offense to this, but have you tried it? I am just of the attitude, "heck, I'll just try it out and if it doesn't work, then go back." But I don't know if you can give a 'trial run' given the software and situation.

I'm not quite sure how gloobus works but thunar makes it ****-easy to add stuff to the context menus. Assuming gloobus is as straight-forward as I think it is, it should be as simple as:

Akakingess, i actually don't know how to do that, I just started using Thunar. So thanks, etnlIcarus - this should help a lot.

Custom actions can be accessed from the Edit menu. Just make sure, "Directories", is ticked on the appearance conditions tab and you might want to change the %d to a %f.

Does this work the same for gloobus-preview? Are these different programs?

I have no idea. I've never used Gloobus and it doesn't appear to be in the repos.

All you should need to do is figure out what command (and possibly arguments) you need to add to the custom action.
