What do u want to add to the right click menu? Does it have anything to do with extended-actions?

I wrote the program for fast layout and printing of images. The program itself can be integrated into the Dolphin, Nautilus and other file managers (in the right-click menu.) I want to have the support of Marlin, but do not know which file contains the settings menu.
(sorry for my english)

Marlin use extended-actions which is something similar to Dolphin's services_menu.
So i took a look at your project vap (thanks to google search)
All u need to do is create a desktop file named for example vap.desktop
and put it in /usr/share/extended-actions/

[Extended Action Entry]
Name=VAP
Description=Print Image
MimeType=image
Exec=vap %f

u can use local path ~/.local/share/extended-actions for local users.
So the best way to enable this extended-action system-wide (across all your users at once) is to distribute the vap.desktop file (i just gave you) via your package and install it in /usr/share/extended-actions/. This way once someone install your vap deb package it gets automatically the menu entry support directly in Marlin (thanks to extended-actions).
