Re: Thunar "Open terminal Here" shortcut missing.

What do the build logs look like? Were the thunar-uca libraries successfully built and installed?

I think it's built successfully without any errors, i have 2 gentoo machines, both machines are missing "open terminal here" shortcut in right click menu, and one machine have a "open terminal here" shortcut on the right side of address bar. How can i verify if thunar-uca libraries is installed in my machine, ldd thunar and check output?

For the latter, it was a recent enhancement to allow custom actions to appear in the toolbar. Toolbar configuration is now available via the View menu.

Look for a thunar-uca.so file. You should also have a "Configure Custom Actions" menu entry in the Edit menu.

I have thunar-uca.so file in /usr/lib64/thunarx-3/thunar-uca.so, it's maybe a bug, i set my desktop environment locale to simplified chinese, then i found that shortcut just disappeared some day, but "open terminal here" shortcut appeared again after i switch my desktop environment to english, and then switch back to simplified chinese, it's still there, so weird.

Now i figured it out, the "open terminal here" shortcut will disappear if i plug in my usb hard dirver.

Re: Thunar "Open terminal Here" shortcut missing.

Hi, i have same/similar problem too...

- using Xubuntu 20.04 + XubuntuDev PPA's
- installed Thunar 4.17.8-1~bpo20.04
- System/Thunar in Czech locale

Missed:
- Open terminal here in right click menu
- Open terminal here on Toolbar
- item Edit/ConfigureCustomAction
- also all my defined custom actions
- also all my added icons to toolbar

But as i try found bug report/workaround, find this thread and try:

LANG=C thunar
=> all Missed is back
kill thunar and rerun in my default Czech locale
=> all Missed is still here

as Ahjit wrote that disappeared after connecting USB-HDD, for me not, all missed before is still here...

Then i think is some bug in config migration with non-english locale

Re: Thunar "Open terminal Here" shortcut missing.

Welcome to the forum, k3dAR.

If I set my locale to cs_CZ.UTF-8 and re-login, I see everything in a different language but the terminal in the toolbar and right-click are present and still work. I'm wondering if this is an issue with the XubuntuDEV PPA.

How are you setting the Czech locale? What do the following commands return:

locale
localectl
localedef --list-archive
localectl list-locales

Re: Thunar "Open terminal Here" shortcut missing.

Thanks for the welcome :-)

So... i try reproduce and found that problem is NOT with Czech locale and NOT fixed by "LANG=C thunar" :-)
To my "missed" list as i write before, next: "BulkRenamer don't work" (Error message: No renamer modules were found on your system)

Create clean user profile, set to English/US (locale output is all set to en_US.UTF-8)

Problem is when running Thunar as daemon, steps to reproduce:
1. after login run Thunar = ok (also when keep it opened and open next Thunar window)
2. close Thunar window(s)
3. open Thunar and all is missed
4. kill process "Thunar --daemon"
5. open Thunar = OK
6. close Thunar (now Thunar as daemon not run)
7. reopen Thunar = OK
8. close/open several times Thunar = OK
9. logout/login and ... goto 1.

Re: Thunar "Open terminal Here" shortcut missing.

Try clearing your sessions cache. While not logged in, delete the contents of the ~/.cache/sessions folder. Then log back in again and see if its fixed.

If not, perhaps you can share some log files like ~/.xsession-errors.

Re: Thunar "Open terminal Here" shortcut missing.

so... i doing many tests in virtuals with Xubuntu 20.04, 22.04 with Thunar from XubuntuDev PPA (4.17.8 on 20.04, 4.17.9 on 22.04) and compiled from source (4.17.8 on 20.04)...

at end i found my problem is exactly #755, fixed in 4.17.9 "Refactor thunarx module loading (Issue #755)" via commit

then i try apply this commit on 4.17.8 source, compiled on 20.04 and problem is gone...
