Thunar Custom Context Menu Request

I've always liked that Thunar has "Custom Actions" dialog and ability to create your own custom scripts/commands. However, default Thunar menu is not customizable. One of the biggest issues I've always had with Thunar context menu is accidently clicking on "Delete" or "Move to Trash" option. This have happend a lot.

Can we please have ability to completely remove those options from Thunar context menu by going into Thunar Preference dialog and have two options to hide "Delete" and/or "Trash" menus? I'm sure this is very easy to implement for devs.

Another idea is to make Thunar context menu fully customizable, so we can even move menu items around how we like it. This is especialy useful when you have many custom created items with "Custom Actions".

Thank you for keeping XFCE the best DE and keep up the great work.

Re: Thunar Custom Context Menu Request

Go to Settings Manager, after to File Manager Preferences, third tab: Behavior, down, under Context Menu you have the option to activate or deactivate "Show action to permanently delete files and folders".
