The context menu is the pop-up menu you get when you right click on a file or directory. Linux Mint does a great job with providing options, but I like to have some more choices to select in the menu. So, I thought I would pass on what I did and maybe you could benefit from my work.

 The large bold type is the nemo action and below that is the information for the action

Reduce Image by 50%- used on various image files to reduce the image size by 50%.

**Note – the new reduced image will be stored in the users home directory. The new file will be called copy-50 + the original file name.**

Create a file in one of the above actions directories and name the file reduce_50.nemo_action. Add the below text inside the file. Then save and exit

Reduce Image by 75%- used on various image files to reduce the image size by 75%.

**Note – A new reduced image will be stored in the users home directory. The new file will be called copy-75 + the original file name.**

Create a file in one of the above actions directories and name the file reduce_75.nemo_action. Add the below text inside the file. Then save and exit

Convert to mp3 – used to convert various audio files to an mp3 format.

Create a file in one of the above actions directories and name the file music-convert.nemo_action. Add the below text inside the file. Then save and exit

Images to video – You can select multiple images to make a small video. This one is the most complex because it requires 2 files for it to work. A nemo_action file and a bash script file.

Create a file in one of the above actions directories and name the file image-to-video.nemo_action. Add the below text inside the file. Then save and exit

Next create a file called image-to-video.sh in the same directory you saved the nemo_action file.

**You can make some changes to the image-to-video.sh and make it the way you want the video to look. Below explains what you may want to change.

• duration 3” – This sets the amount of time (in seconds) each image is displayed.

• -s 500x300 – This is the size of the video. I picked 500x300 because it works for me. You can put whatever you want but, a larger size will increase the output file size.

• ~/Videos/"$(date '+%b-%d-%Y %T').mp4" – This part places the video in the users Videos directory and names it by the current date and time of the system.

• rm ~/Videos/mylist.txt - This will delete the mylist.txt file. If you remove this line, the mylist.txt file will continue to grow in size adding more images to the out put file.

I hope you enjoy the new menu selection
