it would also be really cool if I could tag wallpapers with theme info so that selecting a wallpaper would automatically select the theme, window manager, fonts and cursor that go with it.

Try this:

After saving a custom theme clicking it will set wallpaper/wallpaper style/brightness/icons/fonts etc etc.

Thunar should have a way to search files without setting up a catfish custom command. I know it's possible to search files on a folder but it only works to search filenames that begin with a string of letters and only searches in the current folder.

Finally, the application finder takes a while to start up. Perhaps it could be integrated on the Xfce menu?

I won't reply to all individual requests for Thunar but here's two replies for questions that were raised several times:

1. There will be a new shortcuts side pane in Thunar 1.4.0 that will allow you to hide items you don't want to see and show items that are always hidden in Thunar 1.2.0, like system partitions. This side pane will also support bookmarks for remote locations and will show archives as devices after they have been mounted. You can read more about the features on this wiki page: http://wiki.xfce.org/design/thunar/shortcuts-pane. Hopefully this will solve many of the problems people have with the current version of Thunar.

OMC (yes C not G) look osom
I cannot wait
good job, realy god job

Post data:
but the present 1.2.2..the gnome3.x-icons for xdg-user-dirs overwrites the tango-icons equivalents, tested in debian-testing, archlinux and gentoo (not tested for me)

1. In Xfce 4.10 (or Thunar 1.4.0), the size of the main file manager window will be reduced by a bit, as you can see on the following Wiki page: http://wiki.xfce.org/design/thunar/window-layout. This is already implemented.

2. There will be a new shortcuts side pane in Thunar 1.4.0 that will allow you to hide items you don't want to see and show items that are always hidden in Thunar 1.2.0, like system partitions. This side pane will also support bookmarks for remote locations and will show archives as devices after they have been mounted.

Hopefully this will solve many of the problems people have with the current version of Thunar.

thanks for all

PD: sorry again for bad english, if you want in my native lang (for traslating yourself) send pm

I'd like to be able to delete files from Thunar.  Right now, all I can do is send them to the trash, which is *not* deleting.  IMAO, when you delete something it's *gone,* not moved to another directory and that's the behavior I expect.

Shift+Delete?

Panel and applet
- xfce4-netstatus look like old gnome2 nm-applet/networkmanager
- Own  menu editor, many distros deprecated alacarte by a bug related to gnome3 and theyrs doped configs settings (that make crash alacarte or in instalable from sources)

XFWM4
- tilling like option for acomodate windows (look like exposé but for no-3D capable hadware)

Desktop in general
- Make the posibiliti to put icons in de-oreder (no grinded)

Themes
- Only a theme gtk2/gtk3 compatible (only theme), why?, possible the 2012, much more apps  remaked/makes in gtk3, and for compatibility for theming

Sorry bad english
- I self learnt english

XFCE Desktop:
Ability to remove the background from desktop icons

This is possible in Mint Xfce with their Mint Xfce 4 Desktop settings tweak tool.

xf4wm and compiz - window's managers, like gtk,plasma...
So they will never be united.

You can change background in Thunar, but you have to edit gtk-theme you're using

Нужно чтобы по нормальному, без конфигов.
А xfwm4 чтобы как декоратор использовать.
It is necessary that on normal, with no config.
A xfwm4 to use as a decorator.
