Package: thunar Version: 1.2.3-4+b1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream This is something that's bugged me in many file managers, that I would love to see fixed!
I often make use of the right-click menu to, say, Create New Folder, or even just click in empty space to deselect all so that I can check the disk's free space on the Status Bar. In Detailed List View (my preferred view), thunar does not provide any "empty" space in the window to access these functions easily. This also make "dragging" other files to a destination much more difficult if the destination directory uses this view. Granted, these functions have workarounds - "Edit" --> "Select by Pattern (Ctrl+S)" with a blank pattern entered will deselect all, but that's counter- intuitive. And of course Create New Folder is always available from the "File" menu. But I think having these functions accessible easily with the mouse would be a big useability improvement! I would propose just having one line's worth of "empty" space at the bottom of the Detailed List View to fill this role, or possibly, allow for some "empty" space to the right of the used columns (this latter would probably be much more difficult to implement, if not impossible, but would have the benefit of not requiring the user to scroll). Thanks for all the wonderful work you folks do on this excellent software, and please let me know if there's anything more I can do to help implement something to this end! -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages thunar depends on: ii desktop-file-utils 0.20-0.1 ii exo-utils 0.6.2-5 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libexo-1-0 0.6.2-5 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7.2 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.5-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libthunarx-2-0 1.2.3-4+b1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.8.1-1 ii libxfce4util4 4.8.2-1 ii shared-mime-info 1.0-1+b1 ii thunar-data 1.2.3-4 Versions of packages thunar recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 ii gvfs 1.12.3-4 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1.1 ii thunar-volman 0.6.1-1 ii tumbler 0.1.25-1+b1 ii xdg-user-dirs 0.14-1 ii xfce4-panel 4.8.6-4 Versions of packages thunar suggests: ii thunar-archive-plugin 0.3.0-4 ii thunar-media-tags-plugin 0.2.0-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
