#thunar — Public Fediverse posts

Is it possible in #XFCE4 to take one #Thunar window and join it to another as a tab?

Also recently created #fluxTheme, to help users standardize fonts, themes, and cursors across the various desktop and window manager "standards". I finally have the same cursor in #Mozilla #Firefox, #emacs, #Thunar, and #Krusader.

When I get some time, I'll add the newest fluxTheme and #neoFlux to my website.

ENFIN !!! #Thunar 4.20.10 (et pas 90, faut pas confondre ! 😅) corrige un bug qui affectait #ArchLinux depuis bien 31 semaines (début février) et faisait crasher le gestionnaire de fichiers de #XFCE si on voulait remasquer les fichiers cachés ! Comment dire que c’était “légèrement” embêtant, quand on avait à manipuler ces derniers ou aller dans “~/.config”, de voir la fenêtre se fermer brutalement, selon où on allait ? 😤

Killer app: VisiCalc version 176Y2-IBM-TEST (1981), sum formula and file saving (/ss) running in DOSBox 0.74.

Concatenate prints file contents and format; no MIME type in Thunar.

#Thunar takes >10s to list the folders at any level on this Samba share (even with thumbnails deactivated). #Nautilus is pretty much instant. What is going on?

the bulk rename tool from thunar is still just soo great to use. #thunar #xfce

My file manager for FreebSD is not over yet, but this is intermediate state. On the second screenshot compared to Thunar.

#FreeBSD #Thunar #Gui

Thunar displays the cell heights in an odd way. Each cell has a different height. Of course, each cell contains different files and has a different file name length. But the variable height is not visually appealing.

I’m my commander I will fix that.

#freebsd #thunar

@IncredibleLaser Interesting. Maybe this fixes the abyssmal performance our university Samba drive has when mounted under Linux - 10-20s load time to list folder contents. I have tried all the options, nothing helps. It seems to depend on the file browser as well, #Nautilus seems to be faster and #Thunar unfortunately extremely slow.

TIL Das der Massenumbenenner (Bulk Renamer) von #Thunar ​:Thunar:​ echt klasse ist!

Super simples und mächtiges Tool!

@travisj

Thanks for this! Great article detailing your image processing workflow.
Also nice to see some love for Thunar custom actions.

Q: Is there a reason why you are linking to the 4.12 version of custom actions instead of the current documentation?

#Thunar #Xfce

I’ve noticed that many #KDE apps allows to hide all UI elements, even a menu bar. Which plays very nice with my distraction-free environment based on #niri. In result I’m slowly migrating to use more and more KDE apps. But Dolphin (the KDE’s file manager) pulls too much dependencies, so I use #Thunar, and Konsole is not my preferred terminal app, I’m using the excellent #FootTerminal (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot). I’m using both Dolphin and Konsole on my laptop with Plasma, though.

#goodtoknow :
When opening a folder (like Downloads) from within #Tor #browser, the file manager suddenly has a different (serif) font. 😲

**Which is quite clever!**

So you know you're in the browser's sandbox environment. 🤓

On #xfce4 this affects /all/ applications started from within that sandboxed #Thunar, btw.

@travisj

Great article! Nice insight into your #design process and engaging with an open source project for the first time as a designer.

Thanks for the little shout out to #Xfce and the usefulness of #Thunar custom actions.

From Thunar to PCManFM

https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/from-thunar-to-pcmanfm-02-27-26/

Was ich toll finde, wenn sich ein Problem nach dem anderen Klärt. Ich liebe ja #Thunar, es ist mein Lieblings-Dateimanager. Aber er hat Probleme seit einigen Versionen EPUB als Thumb anzuzeigen. Obwohl ich alles eingebunden habe, was es braucht. Komischerweise kann PCman, wie #Caja es anzeigen. Wegen der besseren #Baumansicht nutze ich jetzt Caja. Was ich allerdings noch hinbekommen möchte, wie ich unter #XFCE eine grafische Benutzerverwaltung hinbekommen, manche Distros schaffen es schließlich auch. Allerdings möchte ich nicht zu viel Gnome Ballast in mein System bringen

Bon, c’est quoi, la MAJ sur #ArchLinux qui a cassé #Thunar (le gestionnaire de fichiers de #XFCE) ???

Maintenant, quand j’affiche les fichiers cachés, je peux plus les masquer à nouveau sans que ça le fasse crasher (et le masquage n’est pas pris en compte) ! Je dois passer par l‘Éditeur de paramètres pour changer le réglage.

C’est arrivé cette semaine, puisque lundi dernier, ça le faisait pas.

Franchement, ces trucs qui se mettent soudainement à casser alors qu’on n’a rien fait de particulier, c’est gonflaaaannnt… 😤

Has anyone ever gotten `services.webdav` to work on :nixos: #NixOS?

I have a very simple and probably very common task: Expose a directory (in my case `/var/lib/paperless/consume`) via #WebDAV so my scanner can upload their PDFs there. I'm pretty much doing this¹ here, but also this person has problems uploading. I can browse the folder via WebDAV (e.g. from #Thunar or via #curl), but anything upload/file creation gives permission denied or crashes clients

Linux tips:
se in #gentoo ti trovi Baobab che si apre al posto di Thunar in HexChat e probabilmente da altre parti la soluzione é usare il comando

gio mime inode/directory

e re-impostare thunar.desktop come default con

gio mime inode/directory thunar.desktop

OK #FediFriends, time for more #recs pls for #Linux-y stuff… 🙏 (I’m temporarily ruling out #FreeBSD, soz #Beastie fans 👿)

what file manager do you like / prefer / use?

I’m very not-happy with #Nautilus (a.k.a. “Files” 🙄) – I swear it used to be good maybe a decade or two ago but now it feels like a babby’s first file manger with minimal configuration options 😤 (am I thinking of a different old file manger? possibly…? 🤔)

I’ve been toying around with different distros in VMs & find #Dolphin OK enough that I’ve installed it on my actual current-but-soon-to-be-ex #PopOS† install, but it’s from #KDE-land so doesn’t understand #GNOME light / dark mode & consistently blinds me… 🕶️

I’m enjoying #Debian 13 KDE atm, & it seems like it will probably support the old (beast) laptop I’m using for all things Linux

I think I found #Thunar OK when I was playing with an #XFCE install on something recently but really need to revisit it & I’m not sure that it’ll integrate well if I end up running KDE #Wayland rather than… well, XFCE 🤪 (or anything else GNOME-y)

so frens… what do y’all recommend? 👀

pls #boost4reach 🙏
 
 
 
^ FFS, stop naming stuff using actual existing words! you’re not helping anyone! 🤪

† a.k.a. “Pop!_OS” but gosh I loathe the way they styled that distro name 🤮

Why does the trash tool keeps #thunar from starting? How to avoid this? #XFCE #Fedora

@[email protected] Irgendwas scheint Thunar anders zu machen ​:monkey_thinking:​ Bei mir wars Nautilus welcher USB-Laufwerke nicht erkannte. Thunar aber immer Problemlos. Ähnlich mit Netzwerk-Laufwerken...

Evtl. macht #Thunar ​:Thunar:​ noch irgendwelches extra probing/Initialisierung? no clue - ich spekuliere.

PPS: Manjaro gibts ja auch schon ewig! Gutes Zeichen. Enjoy!

"Sollte" kein Problem sein. ​:ablobcatsweatsiphard:​

Was nutzt du für einen "Dateimanager"?

Das macht teilweise Unterschiede ob externes USB etc. angezeigt wird oder nicht (Sollts nicht, hats bei mir aber auch schon - Go #Thunar)

The sacred space this evening. The Gods are the dynamic of creation. To view them otherwise is to understand them amiss.

I have not seen #thunar hanging with #smb file copy. I don't have much opportunity for #nfs. #XubuntuLTS 24.04

@skua Do you mean this easy-to-use dropdown where you can choose which of the standard date+time formats you want to use and can also add your own custom ones? #Linux #Thunar

@whynothugo I think that's how #Thunar's "Extract Here" works. Otherwise, adding your loop as Custom action should be easily doable.

The path from using the #Windows operating system to using #Linux is unnecessarily steep.

Today after years of just soldiering-on-through I opened Preferences in my #FileManager which is of the #Thunar species and ticked a box which has me shown Date+Time.

Putting out a Linux version ("distro" is what folk call them), which claims to be new user friendly, but starts off with a non-standard date stamp that is a barrier to folk coming over from Windows, shows a basic misunderstanding.
