custom icon in Nemo action

Post by PRSoftware »

Hello,

I use a lot of Nemo actions to simplify current operations on files and dirs.

My question is : how can I use a custom icon (located in my personal directory) for an action ?

In the action file, the description of the Icon-Name parameter is
# Icon name to use in the menu - must be a theme icon name
Is it possible to indicate a full path ?

I've found an easy solution: put the custom icons in the folder ~/.local/share/icons and use directly their name (without extension) in the Icon-Name parameter of the nemo-action file.
