mkdir build
cd build/
Run cmake
to configure the build environment and then make
to build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
To install, use make install
sudo make install
elementary Files, Photos and other apps support adding options to the context menu by the way of Contract files.
These Contract files can be made system wide available by adding them to:
/usr/share/contractor
or for specific users by adding them to:
~/.local/share/contractor
Simple .contract file example:
[Contractor Entry]
Name=Mount
MimeType=application/x-cd-image;application/x-raw-disk-image
Exec=gnome-disk-image-mounter %f
Name
: Text displayed in the right click context menu.MimeType
: Mimetype(s) of files it should be shown for.Exec
: Command to execute. More info.
Tips:
- Use
pkexec
to ask for root permissions. Example:Exec=pkexec chmod +x %U
