Thunar 1.10 Roadmap (Xfce 4.16)

General

Extend Thunarx API to be able to use emblems in thunar-plugins
- Potential user: rabbit-vcs. Looks like for Nautilus that is already possible.
Easy to hide menu bar, tricky to get it back (Bug 13868)
Store view settings per directory (Bug 3521)
Security problem with *.desktop files (Bug 13329)
- See as well (Bug 10274)
Risk to delete stuff in tree-view on accident (Bug 14369)
- Because tree view folders and files on the right both are highlighted, it is not clear which one is focused
Display better error-dialog on bulk renamer (Bug 14458)
Provide a collection of preinstalled custom actions, which can be enabled (Bug 15454)
Symbolic icons for sidebar (Bug 15685)
Replace systray file-operation progress item with statusnotifier

[ASSIGNED] Prepare for Gtk4: Replace GtkAction/GtkActionEntry/GtkUiManager
- See WIP branch: https://github.com/alexxcons/thunar/tree/MergeAllContextMenus5
[ASSIGNED] Merge all context menus into one (Bug 14410)
- Currently we have a lot of duplicated code regarding context menus, wrapped into GTK_IGNORE_DEPRECATED.
- We should first unify the code, and possibly in a second step remove all deprecations
- First sep will be to fix “Replace GtkAction/GtkUiManager”

[ASSIGNED] Slow multi-file selection (Bug 14026)
- Possibly related & needs fix: Edit –> Select all, than select a single file –> long delay + CPU load, only on detailed view)
- Will be fixed as a side effect of “Replace GtkAction/GtkUiManager” .. see this branch: https://github.com/alexxcons/thunar/tree/MergeAllContextMenus5

~~On multi-file select, only the last one is opened (Bug 2487)~~
~~Replace deprecated G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED in ThunarFile and ThunarFolder (Bug 16328, More details)~~
~~Notification loop between xfsettings and thunar (Bug 15305)~~
~~Ghost files remain after moving files on a sftp remote (Bug 15704)~~
~~Quit confirmation message when multiple tabs are open (Bug 15758)~~
~~Custom action keyboard shortcut doesn't use the current, selected, path and file (Bug 15119)~~
~~Revert gtk2 / gtk3 compatibility fixes~~
- ~~Needed only when thunar gtk3 is started while a thunar gtk2 daemon is running.~~
- ~~Probably can be removed now: Commit 1 Commit 2~~

Use xfce4-notifyd instead of LIBNOTIFY
- Reason: a more generic dependency is preferable thunar users running in other DEs than Xfce. Also, what are the benefits anyway?
