How to add a new right-click menu entry in Nautilus file browser?

I want to add a couple of new context menu entries to Nautilus File Browser.
So when I e.g. right-click in View Pane on a file "foobar.conf" an menu entry "edit with gedit" should appear (among the other default entries).
When clicked the file "foobar.conf" should be passed to gedit (and gedit editor opened).
How can I achieve this?
Under Ubuntu there are nautilus-actions but when I try to install them in Solaris with
pkg install nautilus-actions
then this package is not found.
How else can I create my own context menues?
I would appreciate to have one script with all my context menus, which when run add them all in one step.

To manage selected files or directories, you can use specific Nautilus variables like NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.
For more details and which variables exist, please read the content of the following URL :

How to get rid of right click menu?

I like to mouse over a hyperlink in a web page and select "open in a new tab". The right click menu jumps in the way. I don't like or use the right click menu. How do I stop it from stopping me? As a side note, the reason I like "open in a new tab" is that some websites will open on the same page and in some events the back button will not return you to that page. I find the new tab very helpful and the right click menu a pain in the ---.
Win 8.1
Firefox - newest
Alternatively, is there a way to add "open in a new tab" to the menu that gets in the way?
I was trying to open "Sign Up/Sign In" in a new tab.
Completely irrelevant to my question, but since you see my tabs, I was watching Jon Stewart on Hulu. He was raving about the Katy Perry Superbowl show. I wanted to see what he was talking about. I don't give a flying crap in the rain about the Stupor Bowl.

The right-click menu is context-sensitive. When you right-click a link, you should have the option to open in a new tab, new window, or new private window. (In a private window, "new window" is not displayed.) The menu in your screen shot would normally appear if you clicked a blank area of the page without a link directly under the mouse pointer.
I can't think of any built-in way to get the Open in New Tab command just mousing over a hyperlink. Do you have an add-on that does that automatically for you? If so, I wonder whether it might need an update?

How to display images for right click menu items

I am trying to display some image to the left of my right click menu items.I have searched the help but did't find anything wich can add an image to the menu items. If anyone knows how to do it, Please share
Thank to all.
If you are young work to Learn, not to earn.

Hi Mr,
you should have searched the topic 'Programming with Menu Bars'
Use the ATTR_SHOW_IMAGES attribute to add a column in the menu in which images can be placed. Then use the ATTR_ITEM_BITMAP attribute to specify an image to use for a submenu or menu item

How to display a seperate right click menu for each item of a tree control?

Hi I want to display a specific right click menu when a particular tree item is selected. I know how to create a menu and how to display it. I am using the function GetLabelFromIndex() to get the active tree item and then compare the label and based on the result display a manu for that item. Now my problem is that when I use the above function in the EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK it gives me the error "the Index passed is out of range" while using the same function with the same arguments in EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE it gives no error...below is the part of my code
case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
GetLabelFromIndex(panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
//The function gives the stated error here
if(eventData1)//after it I compare the result and display the menu
case EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE:
GetLabelFromIndex (panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
//The function works fine here
if (eventData1)
If any one have any idea whats going on or alternate way of doing this Please share knowledge...Thanks

Hi,
one possible approach of solving this problem is looking closer at the error message: The error "the Index passed is out of range" tells you that something is wrong with the index, either it is too small or too large So why don't you set a breakpoint and check the index value, it might be useful information...
The other hint is to check the meaning of eventdata2 (using the help): It is different for different events! For the event_right_click it gives the horizontal mouse position, not the index as event_selection_change does...

Please make top of "add to playlist" right-click-menu to be last three playlists added to - please!

It is kind of a drag when i want to right-click and add a song to a playlist, when I have to scroll way down on my many lists - Would be great if the top lists shown could be the three (or any low number) lists I previously added songs to. Then it would be easy to add several more songs to the playlists I just added to.. Kinda like they have done on Pinterest, when adding a pic to one of your boards.
Make any sense?

Trial and error revealed that it's the Swagbucks button, which is strange, because I don't think that particular extension normally affects the right-click menu at all. It did recently get updated, though, so I suppose a bug of some kind got in. Hopefully Swagbucks will fix that.

Properties missing from the right click menu of web.xml file

I am using JDeveloper version Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0 on Ubuntu 10.
I want to configure security for my webapplication.When I right click on web.xml , to navigate to properties, the properties is missing from the menu.
Is this removed or a bug in this version of JDeveloper?I am new to this forum and not sure how to upload the screen shot.Can some one help me uploading it?
Also is there a way to file an issue for bugs like these?
Thanks
Sreekanth

HI,
I saw it in a previous version of JDeveloper.I am new to this JDev world and I am in to a training where the instructor was asking me to do security config setting using the context menu on the web.xml file.
This is the installation file that the instructor has given : jdevstudio11110install.exe. I guess it is some other minor patch release of JDeveloper to what I am using. I am using Linux on my laptop, so I downloaded the version I am using and setup the environment on my own and found it missing .
If JDev engineering team could confirm that this is not an issue , let's mark this as answered. :-)
Thanks

How to add a new line at the end of eTEXT file

Hi,
I have modified the RTF template for the R12.1.3 Positive Pay File report (IBYPOS_PAY_en.rtf). Everything is good, except that the bank requires a "T" (Capital T) character in a new line at the end of the text file. Has any of you came across this before? How do I modify the template to achieve this?
Thank you,
Sinan Topuz

I believe this is related to BI Publisher. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How do I add entries to PCManFM's right-click menu? [SOLVED]

Hello there,
Is there a way to customize PCManFM right-click menu? I'd like to add custom entries, for instance:
right click a folder and choose "Start slideshow" to get the following command executed: "qiv -smt <selected_folder>"
Can this be done? How?
This could be a system-wide setting or a user setting, I don't really care.
Thanks for any guidance.

Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How do I get the old right click menu back after updating to 7.0.1?

I want the old commands back in the right click menu rather than the new ones.

There was a bit of a change between Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions, and Firefox 4.0 and later versions, as far as context menus, but I don't see any difference is the web pages I have viewed as far as any missing items - using a default Profile in Firefox 3.6.23, 4.0.1, 5.0.1, 6.0.2 and 7.0.1 versions. The information provided is too ambiguous to provide an exact answer.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How to display right-click menu for JPanel?

Hi...
I am developing an application to display a JWindow in the screen along with a TrayIcon in the system-tray area. There should be a right-click menu in both the tray icon and JWindow for further options.
I am able to create a JPopupMenu for tray icon. On right-clicking on the tray icon, the menu is being displayed. But not able to do the same for the JWindow. I am able to capture the right-click mouse event, but not able to display the menu.
This is how I am displaying the menu for the tray icon
PopupMenu popupmenu = new PopupMenu();
MenuItem menuitem1 = new MenuItem("Exit");
menuitem1.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent exx)
        System.exit(0);
popupmenu.add(menuitem1);
trayicon = new TrayIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("./images/Icon.gif"),"Right-click for more options",popupmenu);For displaying the menu in the JPanel, I am using the following snippet...
    public class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter
        public class MyMouseListener() {}
        @Override
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
            if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3)
               System.out.println("Clicked");
               jp.setComponentPopupMenu(popupmenu);

I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'

'''I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'''

If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Add Custom Right click menu on editable AdvancedDataGrid

Hi,
I have an AdvancedDataGrid whose editable property is set to true and selectionmode is multipleCells.
Is it possible to display custom right click menu when i right click on any cell? Am getting only the
default menu items (Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All). Am using ContextMenu and ContextMenuItem class
for creating the custom right click menu. The same code is working in Flex and not in AIR. Do we have
to use NativeMenu in Adobe AIR? Please help. Attaching sample of my code.

 var cMenuItemPaste:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Paste Data"); cMenuItemPaste.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, contextMenuItemSelect_Paste);
 cMenu.customItems.push(cMenuItemCopy); cMenu.customItems.push(cMenuItemPaste);
this.contextMenu = cMenu;

How do I make a feature request for Firefox? Need for "Keep this website" in right-click menu for History viewing.

During my daily Firefox sessions (w/over 300 RSS feeds), I commonly visit about 50 web sites. At the end of a session I may only want to keep one or a few history entries and have to manually delete the rest. I always keep one in particular.
It would be infinitely easier if the capability of "Keep this Site" option were available in the right-click menu which would mean deleting the remainder of the history entries not marked to be kept, in conjunction with the History delete options in Firefox Preferences.
Note: This is a real User need I have, and possibly many others would like the versatility.

You can click the star in the location bar to bookmark a site that you want to keep.
