Caja context menu

[dirith]

I have just switched over from Ubuntu to Mint Mate, and context menu Copy To, and Move To is showing only Home Folder and Desktop. What I can do to have other locations?

Press F3 to open an new pane (or from the Main menu select View>Extra Pane), and the Copy to and Move to menus will gain an Other pane option. Set one pane as the source folder and the other to the destination folder.

Thank you. It works, but in my experience is more awkward than having all other location in the right click. Especially for someone with small screen.
Thanks again

Hi dirith,
I added those context functions with scripts added to /home/username/.config/caja/Scripts directory.
This is a hidden directory--Ctrl+H to show
Scripts located there will we displayed in the right-click context menu.
Sub-directories will be displayed by name and hovering over them will cause their expansion.
For example a script named 'Copy to Downloads' will add a context choice.
If the script contains:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash


FILE=`echo -n $CAJA_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS`

DESTINATION=$HOME/Downloads
cp -i "$@" "$DESTINATION"
zenity --notification --text="Copied to Downloads"&
exit

this will copy a file to Downloads and display a message as confirmation.

Thank you, I'll try it later.

If you only want to have one pane you will need to use a Caja script. There is a discussion here - viewtopic.php?t=219329. It has a link to a Google Drive folder with several scripts from the OP, including ones for Copy to... and Move to... . Once installed (not the correct term, but whatever) they can be found in the context menu or in the Main menu under.
