 ===== Thunar ===== ===== Thunar =====
 +  * The ability to play a sound file on mouse over, integrated on Thunar. This is really useful when working with music files, because it allows you to listen to a file without having to open the music player. Also there's a package in [[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40422|AUR]] which does this, maybe you can use that code.
 +  * Ability to change a folder icon from the properties view, just like in gnome.
 +  * Being able to split the window in two like Nautilus used to do. This is something very useful when you need to put order between your files or when comparing two folders contents.  
   * Ability to view and edit the properties of multiple files and/or folders - the most of the other filemanagers can do this.   * Ability to view and edit the properties of multiple files and/or folders - the most of the other filemanagers can do this.

 +        * With more than even just two desktops its easy to loose your orientation, especially when some desktops are blank as mentioned above.  This feedback would both please the poweruser and give the casual user useful feedback
 +          * working on implmenting this, based on ochosi (simon)'s work on the alt-tab window improvemt.  Working to make it themeable and pretty using cairo.  I have a public branch on github.  git:\/\/github.com\/lifeisafractal\/xfwm4\/ its in the mcampbell\/workspacewin branch.  Currently compiles and only works well with compositing enabled.

 ===== Mousepad ===== ===== Mousepad =====
-  * Support for syntax highlighting. Possible backends are Scintilla or gtksourceview. (don't rely on backends, make a small library just for mousepad, perhaps plugins for mousepad? create another emacs with a billion plugins?... nah. mousepad works just fine. open up GVIM or XEMACS if you want syntax highlighting. *don't reinvent the wheel*) +  * <del>Support for syntax highlighting.

-    * I disagree with sytax highlightning. For that we have NEdit (if we want to go with light software). I think better improvements would be the ability to call an external progra to process the file (eg.: what about a 'sed-in-place' option?). --- Luis Machuca B.+    * <del>I disagree with sytax highlightning.
