The way I look at this is: 1. Thunar is a GUI file manager. 2. Thunar allows you to launch applications by double clicking on them using a GUI rather than opening a terminal and using a CLI. 3. Command-line options are CLI features. 4. People who want to pass command-line options should use a CLI to do so. We're dealing with the common case here. Running an app from a GUI with command-line options is not common. The app (presumably a GUI app) itself should have a way of handling the same functionality through -- you guessed it -- a GUI. If it doesn't, the app is broken. Thunar shouldn't have options and extended functionality to fix broken GUI apps. If it's not a GUI app, why are you launching it with a general-purpose GUI? -brian _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
