Linux Mint 12-XFCE: Adding right-click Admin capabiltiy

Linux31 · 04-04-2012, 07:42 AM

I'm trying out Linux Mint 12 with XFCE desktop on one of my machines and am trying to figure out how to add the capability of right-clicking on a file or app and opening it as admin.

I know how to do it with the newer versions of Ubuntu because they use Nautilus however, XFCE uses the Thunar file manager and I don't see anything like "gksu-thunar" choices under Synaptic.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thunar can be easily extended with scripts called Custom actions. Have a look here: http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documen...custom_actions
