Before doing a release or merging a substantial patch, it might make sense to run some test cases to compare thecurrent thunar behavior/performance with the latest release. Here some tests:
- Enable folder specific setting - Enable intermediate files on copy - Enable thumbnailing (Always)
Performance
- File IO
- Open a folder in list view
- Open the same folder in icon view
- Open a terminal in that folder
- File Creation:
for i in {1..10000}; do touch “$i”; done - STRG+A on both views to select them all
- File Deletion:
for i in {1..10000}; do rm “$i”; done(this still causes freeze) - check used ram of thunar in taskmanager
- Trashing
- Empty trash (to get a clean start)
- Open a folder in list view
- Open the same folder in icon view
- Open a terminal in that folder
- File Creation:
for i in {1..500}; do touch “$i”; done
- Select and copy them all (STRG+A + STRG+C + STRG+V)
- STRG+A + right click –> trash
- Press Undo
- Press Redo
- Open trash folder with both windows
- Empty trash
- check used ram of thunar in taskmanager
Synchronization
- On a gvfs mount
- Open some folder at sftp:user@localhost/ * Create, rename, delete a file via thunar (The changes have to be visible in thunar) * Open the same folder via local path. A file created there should show after F5 TODO: Add more use-cases
