Well part of the problem with Konqueror is the way they do thumbnails: for example with thumbnailers I think they have a thumbnailer daemon which is passed the file-name... all in all it links together in quite a complicated way. Furthermore the thumbnailers depend on external programs: like kmplayer. If the user misconfigures that then thumbnailers break too - it's all just far too complex. Also if the daemon crashes you get no more thumbnails until the session is restarted.
On the other hand thunar does have thunar-media-tags plugin, which allows for the editing of id3 tags on music files. This is a bit all-in-one, except that it's just a plugin - not there by default. _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
