PcManFM-qt...

Post#1 by **fu11m00n** » 12 Feb 2026, 23:09

I recently did an experimental build of my OS (fu11m00n/OS) using LXQT apps.
My build only uses 000-kernel... 001-core and 002-xorg modules.

I'm using PcManFM-qt as my file manager.

Because I omitted the other modules PcManFM-qt no longer has the right click menu that manages modules.
I'm know that the menu scripts are @ /opt/.../context-menu (directory).

In Xfe file manager to bring up the scripts only requires symlinking /.config/xfe/scripts to /opt/.../context-menu.
However... I don't know how to set up the scripts with PcManFM-qt.

Thanks in advance for any ideas to resolve this issue.

in 003-lxqt.xzm > all of the /usr/share/applications/pcmanfm-*.desktop files
(you'll also need to `update-desktop-database` and include the resulting /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache in your module)
these then appear in the 'open with' part of the context menu
