Query re. Thunar's main window right mouse click [Solved]

[oliverjames]

Can anyone please tell me how I can re-order the commands in the drop down list resulting from right clicking in Thunar's main window. I'd like to move the "delete" command away from the "rename" command.

Thank you.

Edit>Configure custom actions...
I think you can only rearrange the custom actions.
I don't think you can change the others.

I dont know of any method to reorder them, but you can *remove* the delete option entirely. ( you still will have Move to Trash available.)

Edit the following file using a text editor ( featherpad ) ( Note: replace your_user_name with your logon name !) :
/home/your_user_name/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml

and change the following line

Code: Select all

 <property name="misc-show-delete-action" type="bool" value="true"/>

to

Code: Select all

 <property name="misc-show-delete-action" type="bool" value="false"/>
 
 

Save the file, then Log out and back in and the 'Delete' choice should be gone.

Or open a Thunar window, Edit > Preferences > Behaviour under 'Context Menu' uncheck 'Show action to permanently delete files and folders'

No probs

It would be nice to have the option to re-order them all and not just the custom actions.
