Thunar Custom Actions
If you like Thunar file manager (default in Xubuntu), you will probably love custom actions. These are user-defined commands that act upon selected files in Thunar. Either on its own, or combined with a simple dialog app such as Zenity, these can be very powerful and useful.
Thunar > Edit > Configure custom actions will take you to the dialog for creating and organising your custom actions. However, because this is GUI-oriented, the easiest way to install someone else's custom action is through a bash command. This is a list of a number of custom actions contributed by the Ubuntu community.
