As mentioned here, i receive crashes frequently too, for example "Open Folder with Thunar crashed, Process /usr/bin/thunar was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT)". It does not seem to me that the latest version restricted it. But it's still better than java crashes :-D

Your comment is insisting that you are an active xfce developer, are you?.

Fuuuuuuuuu Thunar package not have debug symbols in my distro Fuuuuuu
ok Rebuild with debugsimbols enable is easy but If anyother have a different sugestion are welcome

I hope you aren't filing a bug in xfce's bug tracker because it is your distros problem.

Please don't spam the xfce bug tracker with distro specific non-scense. It only makes development slower.

Please excuse my late reply. I unfortunately deleted all the files, but just had a look at my root-users .bash_history. This is what I found:
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
ln -s /usr/local/lib/thunarx-2 thunarx-2
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libthunarx-2.so.0 libthunarx-2.so.0

By now I am pretty sure, that I made a mistake here. I still lack the knowledge of the low-level directory-structure and what should be linked where, when.
I certainly did not run "ldconfig". This was propably one of the reasons, why things did not work as expected.

Unfortunately I am unable to state, whether thunar-uca was compiled successfuly.

ToZ, thank you for your assistance!

Peter

Although symlinking should work, I believe the proper way is to add /usr/local/lib/thunarx-2 to the beginning of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf (64-bit install) so that it is accessed before the other lib directories. Note, you need to either run "sudo ldconfig" or reboot for it to take effect. Out of curiosity, exactly what did you symlink? One file or the whole thunarx-2 directory and to where?

Yes, using a PPA is the easier way to go.

As for not having a Custom actions menu item, make sure that the thunar-uca plugin is being compiled. Review the results of your ./configure command. Also, make sure that the correct thunarc-uca.* library files are being used. Perhaps you symlinked only the one file as opposed to the whole thunarx-2 directory?

Hi ToZ,
I compiled this on Ubuntu 12.04. As far as I checked the console output, no errors were reported. I compiled it using the "INSTALL" instructions ("./configure; make; make install"). I do have "thunarx-2" in "/usr/local/lib/". Since I am new to compiling from source, could you please instruct me on how to tell Thunar to use that library? Rename the other one and create a symlink? Why is manual interaction even necessary?

Thank you!
Peter

edit:
Creating the symlink to that other folder worked such that Thunar stopped crashing. I guess that some other libraries are still not linked properly since the "right click actions" like "compress" are gone. Furthermore under "Edit" I do not see the option "Configure custom actions...". Further advice is highly appreciated.

edit2:
I found the proper solution for an amateur and added the PPA of xfce-4.12 "https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/xfce-4.12". Out of interest, I still would be interested in a solution to my compilation issues.

0x00007fffd631f2a9 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/thunarx-2/thunar-uca.so

Probably the wrong library file being used. Check and see if you have thunar-uca.so in /usr/local/lib/thunarx-2. If so, you need to use that library file.

Which distro did you compile this on?

I compiled Thunar 1.6.2 and exo 0.10.2 and receive a crash, when right-clicking. Here is the backtrace:

really a great improvement but I couldn't find an option to turn thumbnails on

edit found, but could be a bit easier :

xfconf-query -c thunar -p '/misc-thumbnail-mode' -s 'THUNAR_THUMBNAIL_MODE_ALWAYS'

Works great!
Just one oddity (so far), Custom actions. There appear items in the context menu that are not in uca.xml. When I choose one of the intruders, there is no associated action. Is $HOME/.config/Thunar/uca.xml supposed to preempt any other uca.xml files, or does it append user-created actions to a default?
Kudos for changing the format of uca.xml from one long line to a properly-indented tag-matched XML!

Speaking of which, there is a closing tag under the tagline, with no matching opening tag. Should there be an opening tag above the ? E.g., etc., left hanging above the closing tag.

[I noticed that the source code uses some kind of object-oriented syntax imposed upon the C gtk library. Would using the gtkmm library with C++ be a cleaner, more easily maintained coding option?]

The freeze I've experienced was that gio was unable to read some information in /proc as root. The treepane always shows /proc, so it hung on the content of this directory.
