    HOW? I looked all over the menus, pop up menu too.

    Re. Why, it’s convenient for a quick task, and reduces clutter.

      Assuming you’re talking about XFCE’s Thunar file manager, it’s either File > Terminal or Terminal in the context menu for a directory.

      If you don’t already have it for some reason you can add it in Edit > Configure custom actions. Create a new entry that runs your favorite terminal app and give it %f as the parameter that will take the value of the directory you want. Please make sure to select only “Directories” in the “Appeareance conditions” tab.

      You can create other custom actions too, for example I use zenity --question && shred -fu %F to shred and remove a file after asking for confirmation.

        I don’t have it, and the custom command doesn’t seem to apprear anywhere, but thank you anyway - at least I now know it’s supposed to be there and can look for fixes

        Edit: i’ve reread your post and Appearance Conditions did the trick. Thank you!
