File manager - can I set it to run a command on selected files - Sprintrdriver - 05-15-2018
Hi.
I often use LL when I manage my photo and video collection. I like to have control over the files last modified date, so if I have say converted an image into another format that new image file format would have set file modification date to the time when converted.
Therefore I manually use terminal and uses the touch command to (for the sake of example I put this name) make photograph.webp get the same modified date as photograph.jpg.
Code:
touch photograph.webp -dr photograph.jpgMy idea is to set it up somehow so that in file manager I can select two files, and somehow have a menu that call on a command that involve the path of the two files.
Is this possible?

See here - https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions
Your Command would probably be something as simple as: touch %f
