Thunar integration by GUI about appendfilename HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi btesteracc,

Glad that my tools are able to help your workflows.

Thunar integration, well. The story is a bit complicated, I'm afraid. You're absolutely right: to get something to the Thunar context menu, Thunar GUI settings dialogue is sufficient. I found out that when I want to control the window properties of that opening shell, I had to write those wrapper shell scripts I added to the README. Mostly because of the --geometry= option.

And then, when you have those shell scripts, you can create those desktop files. This has the advantage that all decent file managers are offering appendfilename and the other tools for the file patterns given.

However, I'm not stating that there is no simpler solution. For Windows, I recently created https://github.com/novoid/integratethis which eases the Windows Explorer integration to big extend.

My plans for the future of integratethis is that I add Thunar and geeqie integration as well. It's not on my high prio list but it would result in a very cool user experience ;-)

If you'd like to send a pull request, I'd be delighted.

I'm going to close this issue for now (because from my point of view there is no issue to solve for now) but please do feel free to add comments here if you do have further ideas.
