Using Linux File Manager Right-Click Menus to Quickly run Scripts

This video will show how to link any bash script file to a right-click menu on Linux, by creating a .desktop file. I’m using it to select a few .mp4 video files, and then to batch convert their AAC audio codec to PCM audio codec. But you can link any script file that you want to use on your files.

I also explain how to change the context so that the script would only show in the menu for a particular MIME type e.g. video, audio, text, etc files.

I intended this to work for DaVinci Resolve as it does not support the decoding of AAC audio codecs at all on Linux (free or paid version). At the end of this video, I demonstrate how I can now quickly convert any video with AAC audio codecs, within a few seconds, from “inside” DaVinci Resolve.

The bash script file has been modified, after I recorded the video, to now handle single or multiple audio track conversions.
