Thunar vs Nautilus forum.tromjaro.com/t/thunar-vs…

You thought Nautilus is really cool? See how the new Thunar makes it look like a file manager for Android :D - Thunar is amazing!

I am trapped on mac at the moment, but I also liked Thunar very much.
Some comments.

custom actions


You can also easily define keybindings for them, which is the best part I think.

split view


Tbh I prefer opening 2 instances of Thunar.

emblems


I find your Syncthing idea very interesting.
I am wondering whether there is a way to automatize that process

Not going as far as direct integration, all one needs in command-line ways of

  • add an emblem
  • open a "share file/folder" window (and know whether the file was shared or not)

both targetting a given file/folder. Do you know if thoses exist?

If yes, one can just write a script that does both (first open the share dialog, then add the emblem only if that succeeded and define a thunar custom action to call that script when selecting a file or folder.
