Xfce4 I've loads of Perl scripts dotted about in different directories I'd like to select them in Thunar and run them in a terminal with a click or two. "Open terminal here" in Xfce desktop is very handy but still have to list the directory contents, find the one I want and type or paste it's name. Is there a way to get Thunar to run selected file in a terminal? mick
Right click -> "Open with" -> "Open with other application" -> Xterm works. I think after the first time you do this, the terminal emulator you use will become default. ICBW. ISTM that XFCE Terminal should work as well, but it just gives me the "working" cursor for a few seconds. Be warned that while this will run in the terminal emulator, it won't stop at the end. The window with vanish as soon as the program exits.
