Customized Send To sub menu function.(solved)

For what it's worth I've come up with a little time saver of a custom function for the send to submenu.
Here's a demo of it at work...(you will need flash to view)

I have a question? What mimetype would I use to make sure it only shows on .desktop files?
Thanks in advance.

I think that's application/x-desktop

You can add launchers to ~/.local/share/applications/ instead, to make them visible only in current user's menu.

You could create a custom action in Thunar to create a launcher; the command would be

exo-desktop-item-edit --create-new --type Application %f

in custom actions configuration; the custom action should be limited available for directories only.

List of categories you could add for the launcher by editing it in a text editor is available at http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-s … t/apa.html.
