Thunar custom actions for devices?

Hi!

As you might know it's possible in Thunar to add custom actions to the context menu of files/folders/...
but is it also possible to add custom actions to devices like flash drives or partitions?

My problem is: I got a few encrypted partitions which got to be decrypted before mounting.
At the moment I use a few folders (with custom actions) in the sidebar to encrypt and mount the partitions but I'd like to get rid of the redundancy (partitions in device list/folders in places list).

So, how can I add a custom action to a device?

If only action you'd like to perform don't need root permissions, all of actions is possible from context menu after adding them to Thunar's context menu.

I wasn't talking about root permissions. I want to create custom actions for the devices (flash drives/partitions) in the side bar.

Edit the source, it's the only way.

Well, that's too bad... I guess I'll remove the devices then and keep on using my folders instead. The other way around would be much better:-)

Thank you, Connor.

If you know their names/paths it should be possible, I just made an UCA for /  - Filesystem under devices.

Re: Thunar custom actions for devices?

Yes, I can do that too. But can you also add one to e.g. your CD-drive? If you can, what names/paths did you use?
