I'll add to it:

Thunar is basically the best I've found, but lacking undo leads me to some
serious problems. Sometimes I'm dragging many items and if my mouse slips,
files get distributed in crazy places, which can sometimes take a LONG time to
undo manually.

The situation is even worse if it's a sync'd folder, because it starts
propagating big changes across all my devices (ack!).

I realize here there is only the suggestion for rename undos, but I'll say that
if Thunar had undos, it'd be the best.

Cheers,
Jack

PS- I currently use Caja for this reason, but that leads to silliness when I
try to copy an item to or from the desktop, which is using Thunar underneath,
plus duplicating efforts. Only a minor irritant, but enough to lose the overall
elegance of the XFCE experience.

No further discussion is needed I think: I do not consider a valid line of
argument  the liking or disliking as such; but Thunar or the renamer itself
becoming too heavy or the effort required involving too many changes and/or
effort seem to me valid reasons not to accept this request.

My intention was just to inquire on the possibility of it.

On the other hand, many file managers, just like text editors, have the undo
option, and I find that a very useful tool indeed in all occasions. But that
might be a subjective stand.

To sum it up: I dont agree with the feature, since IMO it does not fit to the
minimalistic approach of xfce.

I as well discussed with another xfce-dev which has the same opinion on it.

However, if you like, we are open for further discussion.

I dont like the "undo" feature much. IMO it is not the job of a file browser to
recover lost information, regular backups should cover that.

Specially for the bulk renamer you already have a list of "new names", so you
can check what it will look like before pushing "rename".

Last but not least I think undo is rather "heavy" to implement. You always
would need to handle an array of filenames instead of a single one for each
file.

My posting here doesn't have an "undo" option either. Sorry for the spelling
errors ("charters position" - I mean "characters")...

When character/text has been removed according to charters position - one that
was not the same in all filenames modified (imagine six-digit different numbers
at the end of every filename) - it is impossible to restore otherwise.
