Thunar : customized actions

Thunar is a file manager, unfortunately poorly vocalized. It has a very interesting tool : custom actions, obtained by right-clicking on a file.

• if it is a sound file, it can be converted to mp3 or ogg.
• if it is an image file, we can :

• • convert it to jpg, png or gif,
  • resize it,
  • rotate the image to the right or left,
  • print.

The modified file is saved next to the first one.

 press the key : MENU or SHIFT + F10,
 with Down Arrow, scroll down to : modify the image,
 press the ENTER key,
 scroll down with Down Arrow until you hear, for example :’convert to png’ and check this line with Spacebar
