Re: [Thunar-dev] multiple thunar instances and session management half-baked
Dennis Heuer wrote: hello i love thunar and see no option to it. that's why i'm in the need to convince you that the current way is half-baked. thunar even works with the old xsm - allowing for even slimmer systems. this is rare today and great. however, generally, multiple thunar instances are remembered correctly, it seems. though i found that at about four instances the latter windows aren't correctly positioned (on workspaces). however, may be of other reasons. the problem is not the positioning but that all instances share the same configuration. the thunar instance configured to look like a spatial view to show only some starters looks the same like the fully configured thunar for administrative tasks after a fresh login. this includes sorting, zoom, etc. i please you to save the full state of an instance because otherwise thunar can't be used to stay open in parallel on multiple workspaces. many thanks, dennis heuer I don't think the intention was for it to be 'half-baked'. I think the developers just didn't forsee that type of usage pattern. I feel it was rather rude to come barging in here exlaiming this magnificent peice of software was 'half-baked.' I feel that for general users it was very well thought out. I think that you would have a more positive response if you would have used the bug tracker, and submitted this as a bug. Not claiming the software is half-baked and useless. Long time happy Thunar user, - Cory Christison ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
Re: [Thunar-dev] Problem with thumbnails
I agree with Erik.. Either that or if someone knows of or can write a really high-performance thumbnailer for large images... but I dunno about that one. ;-) - Cory Christison Erik Harrison wrote: On Feb 15, 2008 4:24 PM, Erlend Davidson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Radomir Dopieralski wrote: Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 06:16:09PM +0100: Hi Sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm knew to this list and just tried searching with google. When I select a big image file in thunar (like a 100-300MB tiff) the computer hangs. Looking at top output I see thunar-vfs-pixb... using more than available memory (let say 100MB). How can I fix this? Is it possible to set a size limit or to blacklist those files? I thought about inserting an if just after the call to fstat in exo_gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_max_size in file exo-gtk-pixbuf-extensions.c. Maybe a better solution is to add a parameter specifying the max file size to the function. For now I put big files in a separate directory and open them using the command line. According to the thumbnail storage standard on http://freedesktop.org, you can prevent generation of thumbnails for some files by making matching files in the "failed" directory. That is true. It's not a real solution though - this is a bug. The trouble with having a global size limit in Thunar is that some files are meant to be big - like video files (where just one frame will be extracted for the thumbnail). The limits really have to be decided on a case-by-case basis for each mimetype. Or, the thumbnailer should gracefully fail when overwhelmed, and let Thunar use the generic icon for that mime type.

Re: [Thunar-dev] Thunars way of sorting files by name with numbers as filenames
Use Ristretto: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/ristretto Uses Thunar-vfs for file interaction. - Cory Christison Michael Klein wrote: OK, imagine a directory with hundrets or thousands of files with random numbers as filenames and let's say they are all images. Let's say the first one with the thunar-sorting is 31.jpg. But if i open it with a picture-viewer app with the "normal" sortingit's not the first one, but somewhere in the middle, because there are others like 101.jpg or even 2203.jpg before 31.jpg. So the problem is not the sorting itself, it's more the difference between the two kinds of sorting. I think it should be at least configurable, because nearly all other file-managers (e.g. konqueror and nautilus) (and image-viewers like qwenview, gqview, ... :) ) sort files the "non-thunar-way".

I recently switched from KDE to the XFCE desktop environment and I really like it much better. But there is one thing which annoys me a bit. It's the way thunar handles the sorting of files with numbers as filenames. All file-managers i knew before sorted files (by name) like this: 1 10 11 2 20 21 3 ... Like /bin/ls but thunar sorts them like this 1 2 ... 9 10 11 ... Like /bin/ls --sort=version which is really annoying for me. I checked if there is a way to change this behaviour, but seems like there is none. Would it be possible to add this sorting feature to thunar? IMHO the latter, how Thunar shows the numbers, is the proper way to go. Unless you argue more about why you want the first sorting type, I don't think there is any purpose into adding it.

Re: [Thunar-dev] thunar-volman 0.1.0

Re: [Thunar-dev] Copy/move window always on top
Something I think would be nice [as an addition to this?] is if when
copying files, it could display something like {folder} - File Manager
(Copying 1%) in the main Thunar window.

If only the copy/move windows could be set to 'always on top' (see

[Thunar-dev] Eject Failure
Hey, When ever I go to eject a CD/DVD from my drive, via the desktop icon, or in Thunar I get the message: /** (gnome-eject:11361): WARNING **: Eject failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_CAMP: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: Unknown failure. / Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Gentoo Linux, if that is of any help. Also, I get the a similar problem and error when I try to mount my USB thumb drive. Could these problems be permissions related? I can mount/unmount fine when using root. Thanks. Cory Christison ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
Re: [Thunar-dev] Thunar in xubuntu edgy launched with wrong settings?
Hi there, I think I can help you out here. :-) From http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/faq: / _Why doesn't Thunar execute files marked as executable?_ For security reasons Thunar only executes files of type application/x-desktop, application/x-executable and application/x-shellscript. For desktop files the execution feature will only be enabled if the desktop file is of type Application and a valid Exec line is given. For the other types the feature is available if the file is marked executable for the current user. Also note that for application/x-executable and application/x-shellscript, the types of the file don't really need to match these types exactly, but it is suffice if the detected type has a parent that matches one of the two types listed above, or if the MIME-type is an alias for one of the above. /Please advise as to whether or not this is what you were asking. Your question was not 100% clear to me. - Cory Christison Jelle de Jong wrote: Hello, I have strong suspicions that Thunar is in a completely different local mode then the default used in Linux?
