[SOLVED] Thunar - set urxvt to open on folder?

I would like to set urxvt to open on a folder with the custom actions in thunar. So
when i right click a folder it will open urxvt on that location. I have tried using the
thunar built in options, eg: "urxvt %f" etc...
I am unsure how to set this one. I would like to replace xfce-terminal with urxvt and
this is my only hold-back

If you are using thunar you can use exo-preferred-applications to choose your favorite terminal.

Re: [SOLVED] Thunar - set urxvt to open on folder?

Also most terminals have an option to open in a certain folder; for urxvt it's -cd, so in thunar you could have set the custom action "urxvt -cd %f" to appear on directories.
