It runs `pput-gui`, a wrapper that reports the result as a +desktop notification, since a click has no terminal to print to. One file or a +whole selection both work. + +```bash +ln -s "$PWD/pput-gui" ~/bin/pput-gui +ln -s "$PWD/pput.desktop" ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/pput.desktop +``` + +`Exec=` calls `pput-gui` by name, so it must be on the `PATH` your desktop +session exports; use an absolute path there instead if it is not. Restart the +file manager to pick up a new action. + ## Requirements - `bash`, `curl`, `python3` (stdlib only) |
