Nemo file manager allows users to add entries to its context menu, which means it will take only one click to perform some complex file operations, for example, involving a number of commands. The folder
/usr/share/nemo/actions
contains some default actions as well as an example of a Nemo action, named sample.nemo_action
, which may also be used as a template to create custom Nemo actions.The file extension for action files is
.nemo_action
which may be self-sufficient or powered by some executable script file.There are two directories where custom action files can be placed:
•
/usr/share/nemo/actions/
for system-wide actions•
~/.local/share/nemo/actions/
for user actionsSome Examples and Resources
At the present, Linux Mint does not have a specific place for users to exchange/download custom Nemo actions, so this topic might be a starting point, where users can exchange information, tips, recommendations and custom actions.
The following is a list of git repositories including various Nemo actions created by users, ranging from 3 weeks to 5 years old, ordered here from the newest to the oldest.
Please use them at your own risk!
The fact that they are listed here does not mean they have been tested or they are recommended. It’s just a list created as a result of a simple search for “Nemo actions” at GitHub.
