Bug ID: 12273
Summary: Add --select argument for opening path, which
selects/highlights the last item in path instead of
open in default app
Classification: Xfce
Product: Thunar
Version: 1.6.10
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Medium
Component: general

current behaviour when you execute:
thunar ~/Pictures/icon.png
Is that it goes looking for the default application for the file and opens the
file in that application.
There is no way to simple tell Thunar to just go to that directory, and select
the file.
Nemo, Nautilus, DoubleCommander support this natively, Dolphin has --select
parameter that makes this work.
It would be useful for 3rd party applications that want to point to a
file/folder to have a way to do this.
You can just go to the parent directory when you detect thunar, but in cases of
a folder with 300 files the benefit of highlighting the file would be obvious
immediately.
I dont think changing default behavior is worth the trouble but adding --select
argument to path that acts similar to how dolphin does it... open the path
containing the last item in the path, select / highlight the specified item
