Thanks skidoo

The plugin that I would like to install is https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm-plugins/tree/master/ig-spacetv/pkg but it just won’t install or more likely I don’t know how to install it.

I extend SpaceFM capabilities a lot – It’s extremely modular…
Easy way to use that amazing little script:
1- Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm-plugins/master/ig-spacetv/src/cstm_325c1cf6/spacetv.sh and copy the script’s text
2- Open a text editor (like geany), paste all the text you just copied and save it as “spacetv.sh” anywhere you want, like your home folder, for example
3- Navigate to that script’s location and make it executable (select it, “CTRL+P”, make sure to check the “execute” box, click ok)
4- You can now run that script (ex: ./spacetv.sh [full/path/to/movie.mp4] ). But you want to run it from SpaceFM. I do it this way:
1- In SpaceFM, right click a file of the kind you want to be associated with the script (ex: a MP4 file) > “Open” > “Choose” > in “command”, in the bottom, write:
/full/path/to/spacetv.sh %F
Make sure to tick the box “set as default…”

2- click any mp4 file – it will start playing in full screen. If you exit and click the same file, it will start from exactly where you were watching it…

3- Optionally you can add a “tool” in the menu, calling it (for example) “Continue last movie”, and associate it with the command “~/spacetv.sh” (or the full path to your script) , this way you won’t even have to search for the last movies location in your drive…

enjoy,

P.

Just found that thread. This is really great! Thank you very much for sharing it, skidoo! Really amazing, I’ll probably make use of the functionality while creating graphical user interface for the script I’m about to write. I’ll still have to decide whether rather to use yad or to use this spaceFM.

Thank you for finding this thread @Robin:)

I’ve never really messed with Spacefm before and think it is pretty cool! Looks super customizable.

I am wanting to add items to the right-click menu. Specifically:

urxvt --hold -e ls -AghS --color %F

— When added to tools works fine from the tools menu, but how to add items to the right-click menu?

A hint that may help, but I can’t seem to enter properly is from:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SpaceFM

MIME Type equals true
File Is Dir equals true
File Is Text equals true

When entering in the context menu, anything I enter in the field shows up with: “MIME type begins with” appearing before the text.

Not sure if getting this correct will allow for the right-click action, but getting it wrong will remove it from the tools menu, lol.

*edit may have found the answer…

– Custom actions > Right click in SpaceFM > In the active context menu right click again and note the options > then left click and the configuration dialog opens.

Hard to find but it’s there. right-click, then DOUBLE right-click again on “NEW”, then left-click on Command. whew!

Easy: right click inside SpaceFM main window, where files are shown. On that menu, hover the mouse pointer above “Actions” and right click again. select the “+ New” … and select to add a “command”… Enter the command “name”, then, on the second window, the command itself (the “urxvt …” command)
You can also adapt that and place .desktop files on the SpaceFM toolbar (I placed the mount android device script, and my mount cloud drive scripts there)

Amazingly simple! I like Spacefm. Currently using both Thunar and Pcmanfm depending on use, and Spacefm looks closer to what I need. Don’t know why I haven’t messed with it before now. Think I may have installed it a few years back and didn’t like the default or something? anyway, glad to try it out again from a new perspective.
The spacetv plugin looks intriguing too.

Well, slightly stumped.
I am trying to get a simple “Open Terminal Here” working with:
urxvt -w %f

This will open a terminal in $HOME, but when I right-click on a file and Open In Terminal, it only opens an instance in $HOME and not the clicked file. Mime type inode/directory.

This is not a problem with two other commands that use urxvt as the terminal. Everything else is converting over nicely. Any ideas?

Not specific to spaceFM, every terminal emulator seems to have quirks regarding how it expects (demands) arguments to be passed to it.

I’m not a regular user of urxvtpqrs, so I peeked at its manpage.
Per the manpage, -w expects an accompanying value.
Maybe your post just contains a typo, but it seems to amount to “dear urxvtpqrs, I want you to display a border, sized %filename pixels wide”

Also, not specific to spaceFM (or, perhaps it is ~~ check your config) and not specific to launching any particular command… bear in mind that the launching app probably does not know, does not check, does not care which command processor shell (sh, vs ash dash bash zsh, et al) it is passing the launchstring to. If appropriate, your launchstring should explicitly request bash -c ‘blahblah’ (Appropriate, as in, when your launching syntax contains bash-isms.)

Yes, it is a weird one. Somehow the -w applies to the filemanager, not urxvt. Seems the expected format layout is wrong?

This holds true for thunar and pcmanfm as well, where the line above works as expected.
EDIT* Does NOT work in thunar. Works fine in Pcmanfm. For thunar use:
exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator

But, I may not have a “real?” problem at all. I found after entering a sub directory (rather than just clicking on it), the action works as expected, opening in the current directory.

Might just be I don’t get to right-click on the file itself. I can live with that if this is the case.

*Edit – on further thought , it really should allow for it.
The ls command works as expected, as does this,
urxvt -e ncdu -rr %f
So even opening a separate program, both work as expected when right-clicking on a file. Why won’t the terminal itself?

This command works to set “Open Terminal Here”

exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator

Spacefm is an awesome file manager:)
