There are many new features pending to be implemented and bugs that need fixing, some of which are listed below: | Thunar is Xfce's file manager and one of its core components.

| | * [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/547|Offer Thunar specific file selection dialog via DBus Service "org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser"]] |
| | * **[Difficulty: challenging] [Required Skills: C, Gtk] [Possible Mentors: Alexander Schwinn]** |
| | * **[Estimate time: 175h]** |
| | * So that all applications which want to pick a file will see the thunar dialog, instead of the foreign GtkFileChooserDialog |
| | * Possible required to implement a service ''xdg-desktop-portal-xfce'', according to [[https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/|xdg-desktop-portal-gtk]] (to be checked) |
| | * Creation of the related DBUS Service in thunar |
| | * Dialog to pick specific file(s) and hit "done"/"abort" using the current thunar widgets. |

| * Most likely would require to introduce a new base-view, similar to [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/exo/-/blob/master/exo/exo-icon-view.c|exo-icon-view]]. That view could be added directly into the thunar codebase. | * Most likely would require to introduce a new base-view, similar to [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/exo/-/blob/master/exo/exo-icon-view.c|exo-icon-view]].

| * There is already an [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/merge_requests/303|open merge request from last GSoC]], which implements the feature partly using exo-icon-view as a base ... though as such has the limitations of exo-icon-view. Nevertheless, it can be used as inspiration, and to figure out where the relevant code is located. | * There is already an [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/merge_requests/303|open merge request from last GSoC]], which implements the feature partly using exo-icon-view as a base ... though as such has the limitations of exo-icon-view.
