"install" option on right click under thunar

[zAchAry]

you should have an "install" option on right click under thunar.

Can somebody post a Custom Action command that will open a terminal as root and install the desired .txz file?
I'd like it to open the terminal like this:

Code: Select all

etf[<current-folder>]$ installpkg package.txz

and I'll hit Enter at my will.

Anyone?

edit: JRD, may you please give us your Custom Action command? (if you didn't imagined it, lol)

The XML part of my ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml file:

Code: Select all

<action>
  <icon>package</icon>
  <name>Installer</name>
  <command>gksu upgradepkg --install-new %F</command>
  <description>Installer un paquet</description>
  <patterns>*-*-*-*.txz;*-*-*-*.tgz</patterns>
  <other-files/>
</action>

First off: Thank you for sharing!

Try

Code: Select all

gksu xterm -hold -e installpkg %F

+ using the "package-install" icon (since a package with the same name is not installed, yet).

I gathered the "-hold" parameter of xterm from forums.debian.net.

Please, suggestions for improvements are, obviously, welcome!
