Adding new Context Menus in Nemo File Manager running under Ubuntu 16.04

You might have heard of the tool nautilus-actions configuration Tool. There is no similar alternative for nemo file manager.

You need to manually create the configuration files under /usr/share/nemo/actions/

Im assuming application 'gmrun' and mousepad both are installed.
sudo apt install gmrun mousepad

Save the following as -  open-gmrun-as-root.nemo_action (The extension part .nemo_action is trival).

[Nemo Action]
Active=true
Name=Run Program as Root
Comment=Run Program as Root
Exec=gksu gmrun
Icon-Name=nemo
Selection=none
Extensions=any
EscapeSpaces=true

Exit Nemo and re-open it. You will see the newly created Context menu there.

Following are the others configs I have-

=> edit-with-mousepad.nemo_action

[Nemo Action]
Active=true
Name=Edit with Mousepad
Comment=Edit with Mousepads
Exec=mousepad %F
Icon-Name=mousepad
Selection=s
Extensions=nodirs
EscapeSpaces=true



=> open-gmrun.nemo_action

[Nemo Action]
Active=true
Name=Run Program
Comment=Run Program
Exec=gmrun
Icon-Name=nemo
Selection=none
Extensions=any
EscapeSpaces=true

Following are the screen-shots for your information:
