I would like a Thunar custom action to zip up jpg files.

zip -u -j %n.zip

I know it’s a rather unrelated question but what’s wrong with Caja? Why did you decide to use Thunar instead?

It has custom actions that Caja does not have.

It can also run as a super user.

You can launch caja as super user as well:

~$ cd /direcory/of/your/choice
/direcory/of/your/choice$ sudo caja $PWD

will open caja in the /direcory/of/your/choice as superuser.
(Same works with nautilus, of course)

Thanks a lot for the info.

And you can create custom actions as well:
