Hi.

This used to work with gksudo.

Now I try this A dialog window opens, I put in my password, then nothing happens.

I use these settings:
File pattern: *
Appears if selection contains: Directories

Thanks.

Probably won't help with your issue, but shouldn't %F be lowercase %f?

Hi shruggy. I tried lowercase 'f' also. Still no result.

%d is the directory. %f is the filename (with full path). I think you want %d.

@enigma9o7. Not in this case. See the example in XFCE wiki.

Well hard to argue with that! I use thunar with different distro and different terminal, and set it for %d myself which seemed logical... perhaps %f works if Appearance Condition is set to "directory" so avoids the problem if you have a file selected, whereas %d would work even if you select a file I believe.... (edit: it seems irrelevant, it starts in whatever directory you opened it from in thunar even if nothing specified...)

In any case, that's probably not the issue. Instead of pkexec and having to type password in GUI, why not sudo and enter password in the terminal instead? Works for me... but I dont fully understand policykit vs sudo myself so perhaps you have good reason for wanting it that way...

edit: maybe try: xfce4-terminal -e "sudo -s"
