I created a custom action in Thunar for extracting RAR archives with unar:unar %NIt works, but it doesnt inform me when its done. Is it possible to show some kind of indicator (e.g., a progress bar) while its extracting? Or a notification as soon as its finished?
Inform me when extraction of RAR archive (with unar via Thunar custom action) is finished
thunar;rar;progress information
You could always run the command in a terminal.Your notification is when the terminal closes itself :).  It will also show whatever progress / activity indicator is provided by the unar command.gnome-terminal -x unar -- %NI have not tested whether xfce4-terminal accepts the -x option.xterm -e unar -- %Nuxrvt should also accept the -e option.Apologies in advance for any eyestrain due to running xterm with its default font size.gnome-terminal also has a -e option. With gnome-terminal, the option takes a single command argument, and splits in based on spaces.  E.g. gnome-terminal -e sleep 1.  We can't use this because filenames could also contain spaces.  With xterm, -e can actually behave either way, depending on how many arguments you pass.  So the behaviour of gnome-terminal is less magic and probably nicer, provided you don't mind that gnome-terminal --help fails to document either option.
