Thunar autoselect new folders

uke-eda · 2012-01-21 13:54:57

Hi.

I am using Thunar 1.2.3-3 on an Openbox-Arch-system with some other Xfce 4.8 apps. Altogether everything works properly.

There is just one little annoyance I'd like to get rid of.

Whenever I create a folder in Thunar the newly created folder is NOT automatically selected. After I have created a folder I have to type in the folder's name to find and open it.

I'd like Thunar to automatically select the new folder I have created last so that I only have to hit enter to open that folder.

How can I achive this? Any hint is welcome as I am looking for a solution for quite a while now.

Thanks in advance.

It's may be not implemented yet. You should add it to the wish list : http://wiki.xfce.org/wish_list#thunar

Thanks Nick for the link to bugzilla. I havent thought it could be a bug - thought it is just not configured.

So is there a way to make it work? Ambroz Bizjak posted some code on bugzilla but I have no idea what to do whith it! Do I have to compile everything from source with this patch included somehow or can I attach the code as a script or I don't know what?
