🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

okay so here's the tea β˜•

caja-actions is an extension for the caja file manager that lets you launch arbitrary programs straight through the caja popup menu. it's giving "right-click and ✨manifest✨".

every single time you right-click on one file, or several files, or honestly just any part of the background of the currently opened folder, caja-actions peeks at its configured actions to see if a program has been set up for that selection. and if one has? it adds an item to the menu so you can execute that program on the selected files. no cap 🫢

configurations are stored in DConf, for speed and for integration with other MATE programs. slay πŸ’œ
