 +===== Sort by Extension =====
 +
 +It would be nice if we allow to sort by extension. See [[http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/thunar-dev/2010-November/004796.html|this]] request on the mailing list. Perhaps we can also allow plugins to install their own columns. That's more complicated and a separate (but partly related) feature though.

 +===== Improve User Directories Experience =====
 +
 +Thunar 1.2 automatically creates user directories if they do not exist upon opening (e.g. via the Go menu). This sucks. What we want is:
 +
 +  - Enabling users to define user directories on their own (if we can).
 +  - Not to show undefined user directories in the Go menu.
 +  - Ask the user to create a user directory if it is defined but does not exist.
 +
 +**We've decided to drop users dirs entirely and instead show user-defined bookmarks in the ''Go'' menu. Perhaps we can add a separate settings dialog for user directories but in Thunar, we leave the choice of what to appear in the menu to users.**

 +===== Integrate Remote Locations into the Side and Tree Pane =====
 +
 +Right now, there is no way to “bookmark” remote locations. Thunar only allows directories as bookmarks. I've heard reports that re-using the existing bookmarks concept for was found to be inappropriate and confusing for end users. http://www.bomahy.nl/hylke/blog/clutter-in-nautilus-sidebar/ might be a good starting point for a better side pane. I'm conerned about high numbers of partitions in the side pane though. We probably want something that can be expanded/collapsed better, e.g. by grouping partitions per drive using a custom composite widget. This would also have user experience benefits as people would be able to mount/unmount entire drives at once and not just individual partitions.
