Hello,

I've created a plugin for thunar that adds context-menu items for dropbox. It only adds the context-menu items, there are no icon overlays indicating the status of a file (this is not supported by thunar :-( ).

There's a screenshot of what you can expect on my website: Thunar Dropbox.

The deb package was built using statler alpha 2, so I'm not sure if they will work on previous versions of crunchbang.

Minor question: Why are the NEWS and README files empty?

That would probably be because I didn't put anything in them. I might do so in future releases though.

Neat, I have been playing with this today and I really like it. Sorry for not replying sooner. Anyhow, I have added the 0.1.1 packages to the Statler repository. If anyone else would like to give it a try, install with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install thunar-dropbox

This is very handy.

If anyone is being a bit thickheaded like myself you can use the "Get Public Link" option for files in a folder labeled "Public."

Wow, nice.
The Dropbox intall script should ask whether you want the Thunar "extension" and download it when needed.

I was thinking along similar lines. Having said that, it is quite a small extension and I do not think it has any negative impact if it is installed when Dropbox is not, so it could just be install by default. I will look into it some more.

It seems dropbox contex is not working anymore? I've lost the context menu anyways.?

I think Corenominal made it part of the default crunchbang install (which have dropbox also I think).

You can se if you have dropbbox and/or thunar-dropbox installed with this command.

dpkg -l | grep dropbox

On my box this returns:

ii  crunchbang-dropbox32    1.0.10-1    Dropbox binary.
ii  thunar-dropbox                   0.1.1          A plugin for thunar that adds context-menu items for dropbox.

Re: Thunar Dropbox : Dropbox context-menu items in thunar

Thanks Junkie,

I never installed Dropbox on #! (have it elsewhere) that's why I was wondering if this also installed it cool
