This is a quick hack of shaggytwodopes's control center code. Will copy just one file but the general idea is that Thunar calls a py script
Code:
# Thunar custom actions launcher for Send to operations
# Milos Pavlovic 2016 <[email protected]>
#
# Save this file to /usr/local/bin/menu.py
# Setting thunar custom action:
# Name: Send to
# Description : Copy file to...
# Command: python3 /usr/local/bin/menu.py "%F"

app.main()Would need to be reworked to use shutil to copy files and folders. And passing file and folder names from Thunar like this is not a very good idea. I guess writing to temp file would be preferable so file and folder names are read line by line in a script. Then Thunar custom action would be something like: "for file in %F; do echo $file >> tmp.txt; done; python3 /souce/ destination tmp.txt;rm -r tmp.txt".
There is also a case when filename exists. In that case script could offer to overwrite / change destination filename / skip coping that file or folder. To display error when it cant copy and finally a progress bar.
