(Solved) PCManFM - custom actions

Hi, im sort of stuck as to why i cant delete an "open with" custom action within pcmanfm drop down menu im not sure if i can or if i can what to edit, can anyone help with this please?

I did right click on folder > open with > custom command line > browse > usr/bin/audacious > application name set > ok.

Ive done some searching but if anyone knows i would like to delete the audacious entry as pictured below and if possible add an icon to the Deadbeef entry.

Click image for larger version:

Thanks.

Edit: I can keep adding menu entries, so far ive got two deadbeaf and one audacious. Surely there is a function somewhere to get rid of them?

I don't use pcmanfm, but look for .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications.

Not sure what to do there? They show up ok.

Using thunars configure custom actions works, might switch to thunar.

Take a look at this... https://lkubaski.wordpress.com/2012/10/ … d-pcmanfm/. I think it explains this pretty well.

So remove the ones you don't want hmm

NB  Thunar uses an xml file to store custom actions - '~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml'

You can also just add NoDisplay=true to the bottom of *.desktop files. After that, copy the file to ~/.local/share/applications to keep an update from overriding your preference.


I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

this.
pcmanfm calls them "userapp-*-*.desktop", BUT: you won't be able to see that name in the file manager.
just open a terminal in that folder, and look at them with 'ls' or 'cat' or 'nano' and 'rm' the ones you don'ty like.

Re: (Solved) PCManFM - custom actions

Thanks for the help, got it fixed. Tried to delete the icons present in ~/.local/share/applications but this did not work and as noted by ohnonot it has to be done via the terminal to see the "userapp-*-*.desktop".

Cheers
