Thunar User-Custom Action Scripts for FUSE Mounting

OVERVIEW

This directory contains some user-custom action (UCA) scripts for the Thunar file manager. The scripts make it easier to work with FUSE.

INSTALLATION

1. Copy the shell scripts to a directory preferably NOT in your $PATH. These executable scripts are meant to work as Thunar UCA rather than stand-alone apps.

2. Locate the Thunar UCA config file (usually $HOME/.config/Thunar/uca.xml) Then merge the XML files in this directory into that config file. You need to substitute the text $UCA_PATH in those files by the actual path to the scripts.

3. Start Thunar. You probably need to restart any existing session by Thunar -q && Thunar.

HELPER SCRIPTS

fuse-mount-iso

This script mounts an ISO 9660 disk image to the mount point selected in the dialog box. Default mount point: $HOME/media.

Script Prerequisites

• The FuseISO package.

---

fuse-mount-zip

Similar to fuse-mount-iso, but for Zip archives. The mounted filesystem will be writeable.

Script Prerequisites

• The fuse-zip package.

---

fuse-umount

This script unmounts a FUSE mount point.

---

BUGS

• Installation is manual and cumbersome.
• Icons are probably too XFCE4- or Fedora-specific.
• Not smart enough about when these UCA menu-items should show up. This is probably a limitation of Thunar.

PREREQUISITES

All scripts require the following packages:

• Thunar file manager. Custom actions are enabled by the thunar-uca plugin.
• FUSE and FuseISO.
• Zenity for GUI dialog boxes.
