You'll have hard time finding the correct package for that. There's no way Thunar, exo or whatever in Xfce stack would depends, recommends or even suggest ntfs utils (or, for that matter, any filesystem utils). And I don't think, imho, hal or mount should do that either. Basically, tools are here for basic support of most common filesystems (ext*, vfat), and for weirder options (yes, like ntfs), you should take care of that.

I think your “Template” folder is your home folder, so every file in your homedir is treated as a template for a new file. If you have a very full homedir it might be really bad. I don't know exactly how to fix the problem but only creating a Templates folder in your homedir might do the trick.

By the way, about that. I think there's a few issues on how it's managed (but undersantand it's done like this to minimize changes on other components). Currently, when I plug a usb token containing some clear partitions and an encrypted one, thunar-volman asks me if I want to setup the crypto layer. If I refuse because I don't want to use it now, I won't be able to redo this later, until I unplug/replug the key. Similarily, if I setup the crypto layer, mount the encrypted partition, then eject it, teardowning the crypto layer, I won't be able to remount it later. I understand it would requires modifications in thunar (like the first patches Colin submitted), but from an usability pov I find this better. Anyway, many thanks for integrating the crypto layer stuff.

Tho, it could indeed be improved. Yes, even if it clutters a bit the interface, I still think that umounting a partition is not exactly the same thing as ejecting a device, and thus it could deserve an independant command. Btw, xfce4-places-plugin can do just that (it umounts without ejecting), so one can use it to umount, and use thunar for eject. It means using two "applications", but it's still a working workaround.

[Thunar-dev] fam & gamin support in thunar
Hi people. Thunar Debian package is currently built against gamin, and depends on this package, to provide file monitoring. But gnome debian team decided to orphan this package [0], because gnome-vfs now has inotify support, so they don't need (on linux) another file monitoring tool. On a blog post, benny said [1] that he recommended gamin over fam, and I (we) wanted to know what was its point, now. (and opinions from the list, too). We (debian team) currently have some choices: * do nothing, and hope somebody adopt gamin package or that it doesnt break * adopt gamin package and try to keep it working (it seems that it's not developped anymore upstream), at least for us (don't know the workload) * switch to fam (we don't really like this because benny recommended gamin and we don't really like the "system service" thing over the "user daemon" one I wanted to ask people about the gamin/fam preference currently. Do you have any thoughts ? :) Benny, do you have any plan to add inotify support to thunar-vfs at one time, or really don't want to include that (linux-specific) thing and want to keep it separate, using some third-party app ?

Copying Thunar.desktop to my desktop, opening properties in Thunar, clicking on launcher tab, window disappear (only properties, no thunar). Switching tabs with keyboard works. Opening properties with xfdesktop works, I can go to launcher, but as soon as I open the "Launcher" tab, it creates another .desktop file on the desktop.

I had the project to start packaging thunar before the official release, but some things delayed me. Thunar depends on libexo >= 0.3.1, and there is no release at the moment. And to build libexo > 0.3.1 we need xfce-dev-tools, and there is not release either. So we would have to package 3 svn packages before providing thunar, and I don't know if it's a good idea.
