For folders with small amout of files, i.e. the detailed list is shorter than the height of the window, you can always right click on the white area in the bottom of the window to bring up the directory context menu, to create new sub-folders or open shell for the current folder. However, for folders containing a long detailed list (i.e. longer than the window), you can not bring up the directory context menu with right click: any right click will select the file at the cursor position and the context menu of the file will pop up. I know you can always create sub-folders or open shell with menu, but just for the sake of GUI consistancy and convenient, I would like to see someway to allow users to continue using right-click to access the current directory menu under this situation. (maybe with a key-pressed, or any thing that the developers would think is consistant here) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.find a directory containing many many files 2.view it in detailed list mode 3.try to right click to get the context menu to create subfolders or open terminal Actual Results: you can not get the directory context menu for long detailed list view by right click Expected Results: right click on some part of the window allows you to open the context menu as you does in a directory with a shorter file list an area or specific combination with right click can bring up the directory context menu Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1256110/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2009-08-08T12:01:01+00:00 Rff1917 wrote: A suggestion: why not add an option named "Full Row Selection" or something? When you set this option to "off", a selection would only activate the file name, instead of activating the full row, just like in MS Windows Explorer. The "white area" would now cover everything on the right of the file list and you'd be able to right-click and get the usual context menu.

In detailed list view, for folders containing a long detailed list (i.e. longer than the window), you can not bring up the directory context menu with right click: anyright click will select the file at the cursor position and the context menu of the file will pop up. It could be good to force an empty line at the end of the list, to allow showing the right-click folder context menu.

I think just for consistency with Windows and other file managers, there should be a place in the list where it's safe to right-click. This has bugged me for a long time -- I finally came to file a bug because someone else complained about it in a Slashdot thread as "the one thing they don't like about Thunar."

I don't mean to undermine your efforts, but I don't think this fixes the issue for two reasons: 1. People expect right click -> paste to work somewhere within the window. Everybody else works this way. 2. I'm only right clicking (as opposed to ctrl+v) in the first place because I'm working one-handed. Usually I have my left hand wedged in the waistband of my pants like Al Bundy and I'm too lazy to move. This doesn't help me then =) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1256110/comments/8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-11-13T01:43:48+00:00 Andrzej wrote: Nautilus does not select the file when it is clicked with RMB, and displays a directory context menu instead. This seems like a reasonable solution (just right-click on an unselected file). I agree that Ctrl+RMB can be a bit obscure.
