The plugin is an evolution on the current existing thunar-uca custom actions plugin.

The reason for the creation of the new plugin is the need for a better system to manage custom actions. This include more standardization and automated options.

The improved system will be based on freedesktop.org standards, and will include .desktop files and mime-type activation.
