Thunar Context menus....

[hewnix]

I would like to change thunar's "right click" context menus, but I'm noy
real sure where to start. I understand the plugin methods, but I wish to
change a few things that *seem* to be hardwired - like, for instance, I
would like to:

1. remove the "new document" submenu *(from template),

2. remove the "Open with" submenu

3. rewrite the "Create Folder..." menu

4. Change the verbage for the default "Open/Execute" menu

That said, I have to confess I am not sure of where to start to look. I
assume it is hardcoded into the program (not from a config file) and if
I had a clue where in the source I was looking, I could begin to see if
I can make these changes.

Could someone do me a favor and point me in the right direction?

TIA

WPH

Maybe you can help with our thunar-action-plugin system that we have
been working on. Currently we are trying to merge it with the svn but it
takes a while to do this, also the program is still far from functional
so help is appreciated.

Kind regards,

The context menus are generated from GtkActions using the GtkUIManager.
Therefore the stuff is added in different places in the source, I
suggest you start with the ThunarWindow and ThunarStandardView (check
the ui.xml files).
