How to contribute to thunar-custom-actions

Contributions are very welcome.

Opening new Issues on GitHub

If you encounter any problems with thunar-custom-actions, please read the Troubleshooting section in the README.md before opening a new Issue on GitHub.

Translations

This project uses gettext for localisation. The translation catalogues (*.po-files) can be found under the locale directory structured in the usual way. You may use the awesome translation program poedit to edit them.

If you wanted to add a whole new language, do the following:

  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/nobodyinperson/thunar-custom-actions && cd thunar-custom-actions
  2. Create an empty new catalogue for your language, (e.g. Czech cs): mkdir -p locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES && touch locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/thunar-custom-actions.po.
  3. Configure the project with ./configure.
  4. Now we have a Makefile to build the project with make.
  5. The newly created message catalogue can now be filled with e.g. poedit: poedit locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/thunar-custom-actions.po.
  6. After filling the message catalogue you may build and install the project as usual.
  7. File a Pull Request on GitHub so I can include the new language into the code base.

If you encounter problems with translations not being applied, re-add the thunar-custom-actions: uca-apply remove && uca-apply update

Custom actions

If you want to see one of your own custom actions come with thunar-custom-actions, take a look at the files under share/thunar-custom-actions/system-uca, add your changes there and then file a Pull Request. Alternatively, if you don't know how to do that or don't understand my system, you may also open a new Issue here on GitHub.
