Convert animated gif from selected images:

Code:

convert -loop 0 -dispose 2 %F %F.gif

command "convert" is a part of imagemagick, and more customisation you will find http://www.imagemagick.org/script/co...line-tools.php
This custom action need a polishing - don't now how - sometimes imagemagick croping images.
Edited:

Code:

convert -loop 0 -dispose 2 -layers OptimizeTransparency %F %F.gif

this custom command make smaller gif's
Resolution of animated gif is taken from first image in selection. If first have 100x200 pixels - animation will get same resolution.
This command great for my, cause pencil (program to create animations) not exporting to any file

And my kids like to draw animations for theirs phones

A nice simple one

Nano as Root

Code:

xfce4-terminal -e "sudo nano %f"

you could add your password to cut out having to type it (not secure):

Code:

xfce4-terminal -e "echo "yourpasswd" | sudo -S nano %f"

Here is a Thunar custom action that will send a file's basename, stripped of its file identifier, to xclip. It works for filenames with extra periods in them, as well as for filenames with spaces in them:

Code:

qtnhygghj=%n ; echo -n "${qtnhygghj%%.*}" | xclip -selection c

IHTH someone!

Hi,
on my Xubuntu 16.04 the "terminal -e" actions doesn't work. The one which works is "xfce4-terminal -e". Maybe the page needs to be updated with 'xfce4-terminal' instead of 'terminal'?
