I'd love to know what kind of capabilities you are using scripting with Thunar for... I still use it in i3. It's a great file manager.

Happy to share

To name a few of my favourites:

Move specific files to a different machine

scp -P 22 -r "%f" namme@ip:/home/user/folder/ && rm "%f"

Run OCR job on PDF

xfce4-terminal --command="ocrmypdf --force-ocr %f %f_OCR.pdf"

Increase/Decrease audio volume

xfce4-terminal --command="lame --scale 5 %f %f_5.mp3"

xfce4-terminal --command="lame --scale -5 %f %f_-5.mp3"

Package py to elf

pyinstaller --onefile --name $(basename "%f" | cut -f 1 -d '.' ) %f

Share file via Linx

curl -k -H "Linx-Api-Key: " -T %f https://.com/upload/ | xclip -sel clip && zenity --info --text="File '%f' link generated and ready to paste."

Very cool! I would never have thought to even try automating these things. I guess I don't have enough Unix mindset yet!'

Thank you!
