The Xfce desktop is modular in a way you can replace parts with 3rd-party components or use parts of xfce in other desktops. I know a fair amount of users who use Thunar outside the Xfce desktop. I think it is worse to not show when you want it, as to the otherway around. Meaning I don't want OnlyShowIn. > - The thunar-setting is named "Removable Drives and Media" in the menu, > which is very similar to the equivalent GNOME-settings, for example. > This can be very confusing to users. > If there are desktops which also provide this and do not have the modular design or just install everything be default, we could add exceptions for them. Adding NotShowIn=GNOME for example. This list should be taken with care, as we don't know how the user wants to Thunar+volman and in which DE they use it. If the users installed multiple DE it might just be up to the user to add these lines. > So let the discussion begin :-) > > Kind regards, Tanjeff > > Regards, Peter
