Is it possible to insert an entry to Nautilus scripts in the Thunar right-click menu?

I know that Thunar has it's custom actions, but I've got dozens of Nautilus scripts and I really want to achieve this.

Thunar's custom actions is a way to have the same actions in Thunar: by adding a new custom action with the path to the executable script.

sh -c `path/to/script %f`

For example, I have a script for downloading subtitles that was made for Nautilus. As I already have Nautilus running that script, to show it in Thunar actions I have added a custom action called "List all subtitles" with the command sh -c "~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/OpenSubtitlesDownload.py %f".

It is the very same script that can be used from both file managers, only the name is different.

The scripts can be saved and run from anywhere in this way, not necessarily in the path required by Nautilus; just set the correct path in Thunar actions.

I place them in "~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts" folder and they show up on right click. You have to tinker a bit to see the differences from menu launching and terminal launching. This is in the Gnome desktop on SIDEBIAN. The directory for nemo is "~/gnome2/nemo-scripts"
