What if you could convert files, copy paths, or run custom workflows with a simple right-click? Well, that\u2019s exactly what you can do with Nemo Actions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-nemo-actions\">\n                        What are Nemo Actions<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>Nemo is the default file manager in Linux Mint\u2019s Cinnamon Edition, and it comes with a feature called Actions\u2014also known as Nemo Actions. These are essentially add-ons for your right-click context menu that are file-aware, meaning the additional options that appear, changes depending on which file you\u2019re clicking.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, since Nemo also manages the Cinnamon desktop itself, you can right-click directly on the desktop to access the relevant options. This effectively gives you a quick shortcut menu for executing essential commands.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tI was too advanced for Linux Mint until I discovered these 3 power user features<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Mint&#8217;s &#8220;beginner-friendly&#8221; reputation is hiding some serious power.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-best-linux-mint-feature-that-nobody-knows-about\">\n            The best&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/linux-mint-isnt-just-for-beginners-and-this-hidden-cinnamon-feature-proves-it\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Linux Mint&#8217;s Nemo Actions and how do they work https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/linux-mint-isnt-just-for-beginners-and-this-hidden-cinnamon-feature-proves-it\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-09&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":211574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.howtogeekimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/linux-mint-logo-on-a-default-background.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,110],"class_list":["post-211573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-linux-mint"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211573"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211573"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211575,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211573\/revisions\/211575"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
