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 (Issue 174)
Store view settings per directory (Issue 8)
Security problem with *.desktop files (Issue 156)
- See as well (issue 56)
Risk to delete stuff in tree-view on accident (Issue 195)
- 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 (Issue 202)
Provide a collection of preinstalled custom actions, which can be enabled (Issue 245)
Symbolic icons for sidebar (Issue 252)
Replace systray file-operation progress item with statusnotifier

[ASSIGNED] Merge all context menus into one (Issue 198)
- Use thunar-menu for tree-view and shortcuts-view

[ASSIGNED] Slow multi-file selection (Issue 180)
[ASSIGNED] Deselecting multiple files by clicking on filename takes too much time on detailed list ([https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/345|Issue 345])
~~Will be fixed as a side effect of “Replace GtkAction/GtkUiManager” (Issue 293)~~

~~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~~
~~Prepare for Gtk4: Replace GtkAction/GtkActionEntry/GtkUiManager (Bug 16654)~~

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?
