Sort by Extension

It would be nice if we allow to sort by extension. See 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:

  1. Enabling users to define user directories on their own (if we can).
  2. Not to show undefined user directories in the Go menu.
  3. 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.

Improved Shortcuts Side Pane

Shortcuts side pane is a bit of a mess and does not support remote locations.
