I have not tried the Compact List view. The dump program is able to dump information in the table cells for the Thunar Shortcuts side pane, so I am confident that the dumper is working. I first posted a query to the accessibility mailing list and they asked if the Thunar widgets used to display the content of the file view were possibly custom widgets? The point of that question is that all stock gtk+ widgets have accessibility info, if someone wrote a custom widget the accessibility info might not be working yet. So I thought I'd ask the Thunar developers about the state of accessibility. Yup, Thunar does indeed use custom widgets for the tree view and icon view at least. I'm surprised Benny didn't add even some accessibility support; I know I've seen code from him before that's done this. I worked on a11y support for ExoIconView, and it did even work to some degree, but I couldn't get it to work properly due to various gtk bugs IIRC, hence I dropped it from libexo.

Re: [Thunar-dev] code for loading folder contents in same window instead of opening a new one
anna wrote: Hi all, I'd like to ask if someone would be kind enough to explain to me how the changing a directory works with respect to the thunar source code (and how I can pass my own directory to that process). Background: What I'm trying to pull is a homebrew patch for spring loaded folders (yes I know there has been discussion before, I just wanted to do it to learn something new). It's sort of half working - I got it to open a new window when I hover over a folder with the contents of that folder. I modified thunar-standard-view.c, and set a timer in the function thunar_standard_view_get_dest_actions that gets triggered when you hover. It then (in a nutshell) runs the following code: /* popup a new window */ application = thunar_application_get (); new_window = thunar_application_open_window (application, file, gtk_widget_get_screen (G_OBJECT(window))); /* grabs focus for new window, prevents accidental launches*/ gtk_widget_grab_focus (new_window); annawindow = 1; This opens up a new window. What I really want is to be able to load the contents of the folder that Im hovering over in the SAME window. This way I don't need additional actions to close all the spring loaded windows when the drop is done (unecessarily complicated imo). BUT I'm not sure how to do this correctly. I've found several functions in the code that appear to do something similar, and from what I understand opening a folder (say on double click) requires sending a signal to change directory... but that kind of goes over my head Like I said I'm still learning a lot. So yeah, if someone would be so kind as to explain the bit about changing the direcotry... I think could take it from there. You are probably looking for thunar_window_set_current_directory().

Re: [Thunar-dev] Tree_Model and Bugs 2502, 2902, 3602 and 4051
Ward wrote: Hi, Working with Xfce/Thunar I soon noticed bug 2502 (freezes when hiding switched on). This bug seems to be related to bug 4051, 3602, and 2902. Since I'm pretty new to Thunar and have only limited experience in C, I would like to know whether my understanding of these bugs is correct. As far as I can see browsing through the source code and enabling all debug logs the following goes wrong. All misery starts in 'thunar/thunar_tree_model.c'. It's the model of the model-view combination for the GTK_Tree_View widget that shows the directory tree. When the user activates a node in the tree, the node opens and shows all subnodes within the node. However, each subnode wants to know whether it has at least one subnode itself, because of the nice little triangle it then needs to show. The TreeView widget asks thunar_tree_model whether a node has a subnode. At this moment thunar_tree_model queries the node and creates an iterator for every subnode it finds. However, every iterator contains a file/directory object that wants to be notified of any changes - not only _of_ the directory, but also _in_ the directory. This does cause some problems for a directory like /proc and /dev. Problems worsen because of caching within thunar_tree_model. I'm not sure about this (bit complicated due to the filter on top of the model and the ref_node mechanism that allows caching), but it seems that the file/directory objects are kept alive as long as the thunar_tree_model exists. This also implies that the directory/file objects want to be informed of all changes within each directory (if /proc is shown, a directory object exists for every subdir in /proc and every subdir wants to be informed about every change _within_ that subdir. This add up!!) Unfortunately, we're not there yet. Thunar uses FAM/GAMIN for monitoring the filesystem. FAM/GAMIN uses efficient kernel monitoring to monitor changes to normal mounts (ext2/ext3/reiserfs etc). However, FAM/Gamin falls back to polling on special mount points like /proc, /dev (and SD cards, Fuse mounts etc...) So now Thunar wants be informed about changes to /proc and subdirs and FAM/Gamin polls everything. This is pretty time consuming (many, many files, and even more notifications since many files in /proc change every millisecond). This causes the crashes mentioned in the bug reports. This explains the problems in bug 2502/3602 (crashes/freezes hiding/unhiding) because hiding/unhiding simply involves requerying all nodes. Especially hiding is tricky because all nodes are polled (is it suddenly a hidden file/dir??) It also explains bug 2902 (Thunar slows down browsing larger subdirs). As mentioned there by Jan Rathmann, this behaviour is specific for newer versions of GTK (maybe the new TreeView is more aggressive in obtaining information)? A solution would consists of two steps: 1) Prevent caching too many nodes within thunar_tree_model, preferably prevent creation of these nodes. 2) If possible, prevent poll notifications. This does imply that information might be outdated, but there is a speed/accuracy trade-off. I'm aware of most of these issues. My preferred solution would be to 'svn remove thunar-tree-*.[ch]' all together, but there are a few people that would complain. So feel free to send patches to address these issues. Looking back... the best solution would probably be to completely disable that smart on-demand loading, always display triangles in front of folders and trigger on the tree view expanded events explicitly.

Denís Fernández Cabrera wrote: Hello, everyone. I have been using Thunar for a while, and I think by far that it is the best file manager out there --- it's fast, it's simple, and it does what it must. But I have a problem managing volumes with several partitions in Thunar, using the automatic volume management provided: I have a 512MB external HD with three partitions, which get automounted whenever I plug it in. But: - Whenever I unmount one of the partitions, the other ones get unmounted too (actually, all the HD). The partition I unmounted disapears from the location sidebar in Thunar, but not the other ones. - If I click on one of the non-unmounted partitions, Thunar will remount it *and* the previously unmounted partition will appear again in the sidebar. Yes, that's the expected behavior. Tho, it could indeed be improved. I have also noticed that after copying a large amount of data to this HD (a backup of several GB) Thunar won't let me unmount the disk... or rather, it will, but it will pop out an error saying that the disk is busy. When I check which application is using the disk, it says that Thunar is, even if the file copy dialog has finished its task, and even if the red notification popup says that Thunar has finished working with the disk. The only way I have found to unmount the disk after one of these large backups was to kill Thunar, which would free the disk for unmount. Are these known bugs, or am I doing something wrong / is there something wrong in my setup? D-Bus applies a timeout to all calls. If your disk is slow or has a large cache, it may take longer to sync than the timeout, tho unlikely. May also be a bug in the HAL communication, did you try with another file manager?

Use the correct HAL property to determine whether a given volume or

As I wasn't aware that #3119 was already fixed in SVN, I opened #3466
and created my own fix. It asks HAL for the eject flag:
+ /* an eject menu entry is shown if this returns true */
+ volume_hal-eject = libhal_drive_requires_eject (hd);
The SVN changeset for revision 25647 shows that Benny did it in the
same way:
+ /* check if the drive requires eject */
+ volume_hal-requires_eject = libhal_drive_requires_eject (hd);
However, all the devices that previously had an eject button in the
context menu don't have it anymore with 4.4.2. I checked the lshal
output and the eject property is still there for the device:
storage.requires_eject = true (bool)
I noticed that the changes done by Benny use a function
thunar_vfs_volume_is_ejectable(), whereas I just modified
thunar_vfs_volume_is_disc() to return true for devices with the eject
flag.
I assume that the new eject feature in 4.4.2 is tested and working, I
just don't know _how_ it works. Can anyone enlighten me what I have to

The support for thunar-volman is kinda broken in the latest release,

[Thunar-dev] Thunar 0.9.0 and libexo 0.3.4 releases
Hello everybody, I just released Thunar 0.9.0 and exo 0.3.4 as part of the upcoming Xfce 4.4.2, which will be released tomorrow. The separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x refusing to upgrade to Xfce 4.4.x, and users of other desktop environments. This is a bugfix release that fixes several bugs found since the 0.8.0 release. You will need at least libxfce4util 4.2.2, GTK+ 2.6.4, shared-mime-info 0.15 and desktop-file-utils 0.10 to build and run Thunar. In addition Gamin or FAM are highly recommended to enable file system monitoring in Thunar. For HAL support on Linux, the libhal-storage-devel package is required (0.5.0 or above). Furthermore if you want to use the trash panel applet, you will need the Xfce Panel 4.4.x or above and D-Bus 0.34 or above. The README file contains a complete list of dependencies and optional packages. The official announcement is available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/news.html#2007-12-02 Several screenshots are available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/screenshots.html The source tarballs and the graphical installers can be downloaded from: http://thunar.xfce.org/download.html#0.9.0 Installation instructions and documentation are available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/ Please report bugs to the Xfce Bug Tracker (product Thunar) at: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ Have fun, Benedikt ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev

Re: [Thunar-dev] Invert selection action in Thunar
Fernando Maróstica wrote: Hello thunar hackers! Hello Fernando, I'm a new Thunar user. First of all I must say that Thunar is a great file manager !! The invert-selection is a feature request in thunar to have an option to invert the current selection. That is, if we have 25 items in a folder, and we select any 10 random items, on clicking Invert Selection, the other 15 items will be selected, and the original 10 items will be de-selected. Please, take a look at: http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/thunar-dev/2005-March/000493.html Use Case: When I'm backing up data from a certain directory, I select some files that would fit on a CD. After burning these files, I'd like to be able to select the remaining ones easily, so I can put them on another disc. Right now I have to unselect the files, and then manually choose the ones I haven't burned carefully. Or, insert the burnt disc and compare visually myself to only choose the files which haven't been burnt. This is tedious and not very confortable when you're doing the same operation repeatedly or when the number of files is large. This email contain my first patch to contribute with Thunar File Manager Revolution :-) I hope that is useful. Your patch leaks the memory returned from g_strdup_printf() when constructing the tree path. BTW: You don't need to create a string for the path first (see GtkTreePath documentation). Other than that, the patch looks good. Dunno how useful the Invert Selection feature is; atleast I've never seen a feature request for this besides the one from botsie. Maybe others can comment on this? Cheers. Fernando Maróstica. Benedikt ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev

second thing is compare every item with every selected items (List of

Bellow follow the code:

GList*lp;

files = g_list_copy (thunar_folder_get_files (folder));
selected_files = THUNAR_STANDARD_VIEW_GET_CLASS
(standard_view)-get_selected_items (standard_view);
THUNAR_STANDARD_VIEW_GET_CLASS (standard_view)-unselect_all
(standard_view);
for (lp = files; lp != NULL; lp = lp-next) {

THUNAR_STANDARD_VIEW_GET_CLASS (standard_view)-select_path
(standard_view, path);
}
g_list_free (files);
g_list_free (lp);
}
}
Is there any way or sample to convert ThunarFile into GtkTreePath?
get_selected_items() returns a GList of GtkTreePaths. If you want to
query a subset of the files in a ThunarListModel, see the
thunar_list_model_get_paths_for_pattern() method for an example.

It would need to store an multidimensional array of the mimetypes, the thumbnailer and the priority and only select the thumbnailers with the highest priority. I'd suggest to create a simple script for such thumbnailers, which tries to invoke the GNOME thumbnailer first, if present, and falls back to your custom thumbnailer. That way you don't need any tricky stuff in Thunar, and esp. no confusing priorities, but you can handle everything in your thumbnailer scripts.

The menu item shows the shortcut, very intuitive and consistent with other applications.

Users won't realise they need totem for video thumbnails to work. It would also help me think of thumbnailers to implement in thunar-thumbnailers. There's quite a nice video thumbnailer using mplayer, which I hope to include: http://me2030581.googlepages.com/ Basically all supported GNOME thumbnailers. I doubt that there's a complete list of these. Nevertheless installing a video thumbnailer won't hurt. Thunar will use that instead of the GNOME fallback. Actually Dirk Vanden Boer is writing a videothumbnailer (he posted to goodies-dev). It's already very good, although it only works for ffmpeg-based files. Yep seen that.

Petros wrote: Hello, When you want to rename multiple files it would be nice to be able to change the order of the files in the list inside the renamer with a dragdrop method or updown buttons or any other intuitive way. So, when you want to prefix files with numbers (eg. ##-filename), you just fix the order as you wish and then apply the numbering renaming task. For example, you may want to number these 3 files : filename1, filename2 and filename3. When you select them in thunar, they are added in the renamer's list in the order they were in thunar's list. If you have ordered them by name they show up in the renamer's list ordered by name, if you have ordered them by date they are passed ordered by date and so on... However, you may want to number them as 01-filename3, 02-filename1 and 03-filename1. So, in these situations it's really handy to be able to change manually the order of the files in the renamer's list. Please file a feature request at bugzilla.xfce.org.

Re: [Thunar-dev] Unmount removable devices systemtray app
Brian J. Tarricone wrote: Another brain storm item: I have an external hard disk which contains multiple partitions. Before I can remove the device, I must find out which partitions are on that specific disk and unmount all partitions separately from an alphabetical ordered list... Yeah, I've thought about that in conjunction with thunar: if you unmount one partition on a removable drive with multiple, it'll pop up a notification that it's safe to remove, which, if any of the other partitions are mounted, it's not. Yep, that should be fixed in exo-mount. It shouldn't be that difficult to check whether the storage device has additional volumes that are mounted (tho one needs to take care of special devices such as floppy drives). File a bug report and feel free to attach a patch. ;-) Utopia: If a device has only one volume, only display that volume and if there are more than one display the Manufacturer+device name (or any other udev variable which makes sense) and unmount all volumes present on that device... The problem is in the dependencies. Right now it's a *very* simple app that just uses thunar-vfs. Working with HAL and figuring out what volumes go with what drives increases the complexity quite a bit, and I may not even be able to use thunar-vfs anymore, which would be a shame (thunar-vfs makes a lot of things trivially easy). Though I suppose using the new exo-hal stuff might help matters, but the easy async notification in thunar-vfs would be lost, and I'd have to reimplement that using HAL directly (i.e., copy/paste from thunar-vfs). I'll look into it... I'll probably drop the bsd volume backend and make ThunarVfsVolume require HAL, so that'll be doable then. BTW: I think this status icon should be part of Thunar then. That way we can also handle things like leaving mounted folders first, etc. properly.

For example if I insert a CD labelled Photographs from Holiday this pushs the divider over to the right to fit all the letters in, which looks a little ugly and means my three columns on icons in the right-pane becomes just two. Also, when I remove the device thunar doesn't move the divider back again. Unless you're using an older version of Thunar, this shouldn't happen anymore.

Does Xfce try to be closed, i.e. to keep a limited number of applications for it? Or is the appearance of such tutorial just a question of time? I think that appearance of different apps written specially for Xfce should bring more popularity and usability to it, so it's no reason to keep Xfce closed. Especially now, when Xfce becomes a _real_ desktop environment with own file manager etc. Excuse me if this mail list is not appropriate place for this question. This is a question for the xfce4-dev ML... in short: You don't need the Xfce libraries to write a card game. GTK+ suffices. libexo might be useful, but the other xfce libs probably do not contain anything that will help you with the card game. An xfce4-games project sounds like a nice idea.

As of right now, its suddenly working .. and I have absolutely NO IDEA why .. I changed exactly zero things regarding gamin. Granted, I compiled thunar with --enable-debug=full, yet, that shouldn't actually make a difference now, should it? What I noticed though is the following: Before I recompiled thunar it used to go into some sort of daemon mode whenever I executed it from the console (means, it started itself and forked into the background leaving me with a usable console). It doesn't do that anymore now. Maybe you can make something out of that .. Uhm, Thunar never forked itself into the background, atleast not the upstream version. The --daemon command line option simply keeps Thunar running even if the last window is closed (for the trash support). --enable-debug=full doesn't change anything wrt file system monitoring. Dunno what's going on there. I think what he's talking about is that, when 'Thunar --daemon' is running already, and you run a normal Thunar instance, instead of starting a new process, it calls the daemon via the dbus interface to open a new window, and then quits. From the perspective of sitting at the terminal, it just looks like the Thunar started from the terminal has forked into the background. Ah, ok, could thought of that as well. ;-) -brian Benedikt ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
[Thunar-dev] Thunar 0.8.0 and libexo 0.3.2 releases
Hello everybody, I just released Thunar 0.8.0 and exo 0.3.2 as part of the long awaited Xfce 4.4.0, which will be released in a few hours. The separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x refusing to upgrade to Xfce 4.4.x, and users of other desktop environments. This is the final release of Thunar, but since not all items from the roadmap were completed, it is not yet the 1.0.0 version. You will need at least libxfce4util 4.2.2, GTK+ 2.6.4, shared-mime-info 0.15 and desktop-file-utils 0.10 to build and run Thunar. In addition Gamin or FAM are highly recommended to enable file system monitoring in Thunar. For HAL support on Linux, the libhal-storage-devel package is required (0.5.0 or above). Furthermore if you want to use the trash panel applet, you will need the Xfce Panel 4.4BETA1 or above and D-Bus 0.34 or above. The README file contains a complete list of dependencies and optional packages. The official announcement is available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/news.html#2007-01-21 Several screenshots are available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/screenshots.html The source tarballs and the graphical installers can be downloaded from: http://thunar.xfce.org/download.html#0.8.0 Installation instructions and documentation are available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/ Please report bugs to the Xfce Bug Tracker (product Thunar) at: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ Enjoy, Benedikt ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev

Re: [Thunar-dev] Question about thunar-volman.
Alexandre Moreira wrote: Hello, Benny. I have not been able to test volman yet, buried in work for a few days now, but there is something I'd like to ask you if it is able to do, and if it is not, if it would be hard to implement or anything like it. I've seen that it can mount a usb storage device once plugged, if the user so decides. Now, would it unmount the device when it gets unplugged ? I just found that the most inconvenient part of the manual process, so I thought it would be a nice feature to have if it doesn't already has it (and if hal triggers enough events to make that possible). I mean, its hard to forget the mount something when you KNOW you want to use it... but forgetting to unmount it after usage is done is the most common scenario (at least to my fish-like memory). Forgetting to unmount means to loose data in most cases, no matter if the device is being forgotten or not. I've read that HAL should clean up the mount of the device was removed without unmount, but that doesn't seem to work. At least on my FreeBSD box that caused trouble, messing up the system. This is always the same issue, no matter if you're talking about Linux, Windows, OS X, etc. File systems must be unmounted to avoid data loss. BTW: This issue has nothing to do with thunar-volman or Thunar. Regards, Alexandre Moreira.

Re: [Thunar-dev] Shortcuts window.
Alexandre Moreira wrote: This is more a what do you think? or a should we be consistent with them? than a feature request. It is rather insignificant so, if you don't have much time just ignore it. I noticed that Thunar follows an approach much alike the GtkFileChooser, its interface really resembles it when in the shortcuts window. There is one little inconsistency between our (as in Thunar's) behavior and theirs (as in GtkFileChooser). in GtkFileChoser, whenever you double click a shortcut, it opens the file view to it. In thunar it acts on a single click. I don't know if this difference was intended and I really don't care about which one is best, since both work just the same to me. But I just thought it was worth mentioning since perhaps it just skipped the revisions of the devs and they think otherwise. Thunar had that double-click as well. But there's no need to require double-click here, so single-click does as well. Now to a more interesting request. I think I read somewhere in this list that the current SVN version has the ability to display user's shortcuts on the top bar when on pathbar mode, and I think this is great. To go with such an option and make those freaking minimalists (like me) happy I'd just ask that someone made it possible to simply right click in a folder and Add to shortcuts, that way I (and possibly other weird minimalistic desktop freaks like me) could simply disable the side bar completely, and realy on these rather hidden-but-useful actions. What do you think ? It should not be hard to implement I guess I don't get what you are talking about. Best Regards, Alexandre Moreira.

the label did not appear in hal-device’s output.
The volume.label is used if not-empty. Besides that there doesn't seem

[Thunar-dev] thunar-volman 0.1.0
Hello everybody, I just released the first version of the Thunar Volume Manager. It adds automatic management of removable drives and media to Thunar, without adding another daemon to your desktop sessions. It requires Thunar 0.5.1svn or above, HAL 0.5.0 or above and D-BUS 0.32 or above.

Voodoo magic ;-) Ok, maybe not... Thunar acts as a proxy between hald and thunar-volman. Since Thunar is running and monitoring HAL events anyway, that's pretty easy. Whenever HAL reports a new device, Thunar runs thunar-volman to handle the new device (if Volume Management is enabled).

And the latter does not work for me. *That* was the reason I asked. I was sure that I already described this, but anyway: I plug in my Hama flashdisk for example.

However all these utilities behave differently, and of course, they behave differently on various platforms. Esp. pmount is tricky, since it doesn't use the HAL Mount method, which could confuse HAL (and software using HAL - Thunar, xfdesktop, ...). That's why I added exo-mount, which uses HAL if possible (as said, HAL cannot mount entries in fstab) and (hopefully) behaves the same on different platforms (some platforms require special care, and exo-mount takes care of that).

I know the package versions are pretty much bleeding edge as Lunar isn't bound to fixed package release cycles, but nonetheless I'd love to be able to get some more debugging information out of Thunar/HAL/D-BUS to find a fix for this annoyance.

In the past weeks I was considering moving to g-v-m in xubuntu because it's pref GUI and autostart spec support but seems like there will be no need.

Will these be matched by exo-mount and thunar-volman? thunar-volman lets exo-mount handle encrypted file systems, just like every other file system. exo-mount currently doesn't support encrypted file systems, simply because I haven't bothered to figure out how to test that. It should be relatively easy to add. If anyone wants to help, go ahead.

Stanislav Brabec wrote: BTW: I fail to see the problem here. How often do people regenerate thumbnails that +1 or 2 seconds for 40 JPEGs makes a difference? It's important because it gives an impression of slowness and unresponsiveness. And you rarely generate them, but you import pictures from digital cameras rather often. Here the I/O is definitely the limiting factor from my experience. Accessing data on digital cameras is very slow with the models I've tested. No, for digital cameras the limiting factor is the stupidity of the thumbnailer. Small jpeg-EXIF-embedded thumbnail is most often stored in first few blocks of the image. You can create thumbnail much faster than you can load the image. Mid-size jpeg thumbnail (typically 640x480) is typically stored in last few blocks of the image and you need only few additional seeks to find exact start point. You can again create thumbnail faster than to load image. You can try to compare my dcraw-thumbnailer with Nautilus jpeg thumbnailer to see the difference: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/gnome-dcraw Note that this page also contain classical thumbnailer, which reads the whole file and scales it down by its own.

[Thunar-dev] thunar-volman
For the brave: I've just imported an initial version of the thunar-volman, which provides automatic handling of removable drives and media for Thunar. This requires a really recent version of Thunar. It's designed to look and behave similar to gnome-volume-manager, tho of course, it's not bug-compatible. ;-) The difference (advantage) to gnome-volume-manager is that it (a) doesn't require GNOME and (b) doesn't require an additional daemon. To avoid the daemon, Thunar was extended to act as a proxy between HAL and thunar-volman, which means whenever HAL reports a new device, thunar-volman is invoked to handle it according to it's configuration. That was pretty simple, because Thunar has to monitor HAL events anyway. This is of course optional. Consider thunar-volman experimental. I've tested it with HAL on FreeBSD and so far that seems to work pretty well. One problem I noticed however: Our applications (i.e. Xfmedia, Xfburn) that would be spawned by the volume manager, don't provide the necessary command line switches (i.e. Xfmedia needs a command line switch to accept the UDI and/or the device file path of an audio CD). Xfburn on the other hand should provide options to start compiling an audio or data CD/DVD, and it would be really nice to drop the Linux code from Xfburn and do the device lookup using HAL (that would also allow to pass the HAL UDI of the newly inserted disc). Not high priority, of course, I just thought I should mention that. Otherwise, give it a go, if you think it's useful... http://svn.xfce.org/svn/goodies/thunar-volman/trunk/ HTH, Benedikt ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
