Here it is the solution in order to add the 'open terminal here' into the context menu of Elementary OS' file manager (generically called 'Files' – the executable is pantheon-files
).
For that specific demand, the idea is to create the file /usr/share/contractor/terminal.contract
and add something like
[Contractor Entry]
Name=Open Terminal here
Icon=terminal
Description=Open Terminal here
MimeType=inode;application/x-sh;application/x-executable;
Exec=pantheon-terminal -d %U
Gettext-Domain=pantheon-terminal
But how to adapt that and have a model to add other commands, namely – following my order of priorities – 'open folder as root'?
Best Answer
In order to create 'Open folder as root' context menu command - and in order to create any new such command - a new
*.contract
file has to be created in/usr/share/contractor
.To create the file in
gedit
:sudo gedit /usr/share/contractor/Open_as_admin.contract
For 'Open folder as root' - that file would have to contain something like
(but no icon appears in te context menu anyway)
