my thunar custom actions

xfce's default file manager, thunar, includes the very handy ability to be able to make your own entries for commands that appear in the context menu and toolbar. these are all pretty simple for the most part, but improve functionality a lot in my opinion. to install, either recreate it in the gui under the Edit > Configure Custom Actions... menu, or paste them into ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml.

extract merged layers from krita .kra

i'm allergic to using krita's export function. .kra files are really just normal archive files like .zip or .rar that krita knows how to read a certain way, and one of the files inside is an image made from all visible layers merged together, so you can use a normal archive extracter and get the merged image. it's so fast!

<action>

    <icon>krita</icon>

    <name>krita extract</name>
