For those using this marvelous app, here is how you can create a Custom Action (Right-click) for PCManFM.
First, `localsend` doesn’t have any headless command-line interface and there is no sign it will be implemented any time soon. Luckily for us the binary is flexible enough and works quite good for our need.
- Create a new, empty file and save it like, for example “Send-to-Localsend.txt”.
- Copy this file into your `~/.local/share/file-manager/actions` folder.
- Rename the file from **txt** to **desktop** via command or directly in your file manager:
- All done. You can now right-click on files and folders while in `pcmanfm` and see the new option.
Enjoy. 😁
