Thunar fails to find file templates if ~/Templates is a symlink to a directory, and Thunar's 'Create document' menu displays 'No templates installed'.
The XFCE desktop's context menu displays the templates correctly, as does PCManFM. The failure is caused by the function _thunar_misc_jobs_load_templates() calling thunar_io_scan_directory() with the 'flags' parameter set to G_FILE_QUERY_INFO_NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS. The function thunar_io_scan_directory() fails if the file type of the object at ~/Templates is not a directory. Changing the value of the flags parameter to G_FILE_QUERY_INFO_NONE allows the eventual call to the GIO function g_file_query_file_type() to return the file type of the symlink's target instead of the file type of the symlink itself. If ~/Templates is a symbolic link to a directory then thunar_io_scan_directory() proceeds as if ~/Templates is a directory, the template files are found and Thunar's 'Create document' menu displays the template files correctly.
