 Sounds like a valid and well-argumented reason to drop it. +1 for me.

I agree, today is the first time I pressed it, and I did not expect to
see the shortcuts there. I expected a history, or a list of parent-
and grandparent-folders. But definitely no shortcuts.

When I read Jannis' comment on IRC, I have been looking around the
thunar interface for 20sec before I found the button. And then I still
had doubts if I had the right one. Thanks for the screenshot, it helps
:-)

 Greetings,

 I've been using Thunar (0.9.0) on Ubuntu (8.04)  without problems for a few
 weeks.  I've aways been using the Shortcuts side pane.  Today I discovered
 the Tree side pane and began using that.  Within minutes it froze, after I
 covered part of the Thunar window with my terminal window and then tried to
 uncover it -- the covered part of the window never refreshed.  I had to
 force kill that Thunar.  Repeated attempts have yielded similar freezes.
 Twice my entire Gnome desktop froze and I had to reboot.

 I googled the internet and have seen others with the same issue
 (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-368871.html).  I know you folks
 are putting out a new release soon.   I hope this issue is addressed.  In
 the meantime, I'll stop using the Tree side pane.

Could you please provide a backtrace of when it hangs?

   Thunar hangs when the users home is on NFS mount.
   This bug is almost one year old.
   Any chance to get that fixed? I'm bloody C beginner, so I can't help 
 out...
  
   This has been bothering me since I switched to XFCE a year back for my
   main system; but it's been fine on other systems I've installed it on
   (office, dev boxes). It never occurred to me that it was due to my NFS
   /home dir. Thanks!

  Actually it's a problem with the thumbnail/.cache/NFS interaction.
  I'm fine with symlinking ~/.cache (the NFS home) to
  /usr/local/home/user/.cache/ (a machine-dependend local home, also for
  .config and .gconf in my case), for example.

This sounds logical, thunar creates (and loads) thumbnails for every
file it can. This results in some very massive network traffic when
viewing a folder.

You could argue that reading and writing thumbnails should be less
intrusive, but I wouldn't really know how.

@Benny, do you have an idea if this is possible?

Hehe, high-performance and large images? It is possible to load and

 Dear All

 Is it possible to create a zip file with password through

These features need to be provided by your default archiver. If they
do, then it is supported.

Currently, neither file-roller, Xarchiver nor Squeeze support this IIRC.

Though i would not know why anyone would want to 'protect' an archive
with a password,
simple rwx-- permissions would do the trick just fine.

 Well, I have a patch to add samba support based on libsmbclient, but it
 doesn't work properly right now (esp. auth handling with libsmbclient is
 a mess). I have received several feature requests for samba support, so
 I guess that's atleast important enough to think about this again.

 Maybe I'll commit that for RC1, but disabled by default. Dunno yet.

Do you want to support it by extentions, or build-in?

I'd prefer extentions, because that makes it possible for developers
to extend it beyond smb. Support for SSH, FTP or WebDAV can be written
too by someone if (s)he wants it. Like thunar-apr, thunar-uca or
thunar-sbr, these things could also be supported (and installed) if
someone wants it. And removed if (s)he doesn't.

 Pretty simple: Mousepad and Scribus don't implement the recent-files spec.

What about placing the recently-used code to libexo?

With some additional functions it can become a generic interface to
the recently-used database, which mousepad, xarchiver, xfburn and
xfmedia could use.

 Xarchiver is not registered as handler for .tar.bz2 in the mime

 'Create' looks for a mime handler that can handle all of

  I like the idea, tho I don't like the tree view. Do you know JDiskFree
  (not sure about the exact name, it's part of jgoodies and solaris,
  IIRC)? Something like that, with a Thunar plugin, that'd be perfect.
  
   In KDE are nifty tools to get information about used disk space.
  
   kdirstat (windirstat is a port for windows)

   I don't think they could fit in the property box (it is a slow process 
   and I'm
   happy with the throbbler special behaviour :) but they are good 
   softwares to
   be kept left. Custom actions are actually a good entry point for them... 
   :)
 
  Jep, FileLight comes close to JDiskFree. KDirStat features the same
  useless UI as does baobab.
 
  I don't care if its part of the properties dialog or available via the
  context menu. But such an utility would be really neat.
 
  Maybe somebody wants to start with a Python/Ruby mockup. The actual
  drawing of the stats should be easy using cairo (there's a python cairo
  + GtkWidget tutorial).
 
   Cheers,

 I have been walking around with the following plugin idea, a
 subversion plugin like tortoise-svn on windows.

 http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

 Since thunar is the first file-manager i actually use in daily work i
 think this is rather usefull (at least for me, which is why i intend
 to write it).

 What are your ideas about this?

I thought a discussion about this has been going on in #thunar too,
but i have a bad memory regarding IRC. So i am sorry if i offend
anyone with the same idea.

  How about naming it Compact View?

 Or maybe View as Compact List?

I don't really care how it's called, I LIKE IT!!! :p

  When using Thunar with the icon-view it regularly happens

  Right now I have the choice between:
  a) changing to the detailed list view / and change back to
  the icon-view afterwards
  or
  b) using the properties dialog (e.g. right click, Properties,
  Permissions) Both can be quite annoying.
 
  I would be nice to have additional information for the active file or
  folder in  the Statusbar.
  Right now I can see there Name (Size) Type   when clicking on a
  file.
 
  I would love to see all the information of the detailed list-view.
  (This would even be configurable by the View/Configure Columns!)
  This would save me a lot of time and would extend usability of the
  icon-view for all users - I guess ;-)

 Another idea would be to add tooltips for this to the icon view.

Or, showing the data in another view for the left-pane.
