Mails from the Xfce mailing lists have Reply-To: set, so this is why the 
"Reply" button generates a reply to the mailing list.

I'm very sorry for my offensive words. But they were not meant to be 
sent to the mailing list, but only to Michal Kaut who asked about 
sorting files.


The problem is that I use the famous Mozilla Thunderbird, and although 
it has two separate buttons for "Reply" and "Reply to mailing list", 
they both reply to the mailing list... which I've just learnt by this 
case. Excellent! :-(


So I am apologising.

I doubt there is even a single line of code in Thunar contributed by a Linux 
developer. So your post is kinda off-topic here.

Which is also off-topic, since Thunar has nothing to do with Linux.

I have this problem too from time to time, so I agree it's definitely
worth improving. For extensions this is quite easy (although we are in
feature freeze, so it won't land for Xfce 4.8 / Thunar 1.2).

EXIF/ID3 would be an extension point (we don't want to depend on too
much libraries for various reasons), which is obviously a bit harder.
Anyway, I'll create bugs for this, because it is important and since
the focus for 1.4 is more on improving features (1.2 was all about the
thunar-vfs -> gio migration), there is a good change this will be
fixed.

Hello,

is it possible to sort files by extension in Thunar? I know it can sort
by "Type", but this is definitely not what I want, because:
- some extensions have the same type, for example .txt, .out and .dat
are all of type "plain text document" - so they get all mixed up
- it is difficult to find files; for example for the .dat files, I have
to remember that they are called "plain text" and therefore sorted under
"p" .. not to mention .mod files, where I have my optimization models,
which are called "Amiga Sountracker audio" and hence sorted under "A"..)

(The optimal thing, as far as I can tell, would be to have custom
columns in Thunar. In this way, one could have (and be able to sort by)
not only extension, but also ID3 tags for music and EXIF data for
pictures .. but that is probably too much to ask for?)


Thanks,
Michal
