Debian 10 Desktop - Custom Actions

Hi!
I remember in early versions of Debian I can see the Thunar custom actions in desktop.
Is there any way to see them?

Actual footage:

XFCE Version: 4.12

Sorry for the short explanation. I had stopped using Linux years ago.
Thanks for your time!

Re: Debian 10 Desktop - Custom Actions

Hello and welcome.

Here is a debian bug report for this. Basically, there is an inconsistency between the thunar version (new API) and xfdesktop version (old API) that resulted in custom actions no longer working. It looks like it still affects debian 10.

The workaround is to downgrade thunar or install a newer version of xfdesktop.

Debian 11 Bullseye is fixed.

There are a few mismatches in 10. 11 is about to go stable and working well.
