Go to /usr/ports/x11/xfce4/thunar and type 'make patch', the source code by some miracle appears in w-thunar-0.9.3 :P Someone replied to the bug report, saying I should look at 'thunar-vfs-job.* and related files'. I have been putting printf()'s in the code, but it looks like the program fork()s early on and I'm not sure where the output goes in this case. > > --patrick > p.s., rant: personally i don't even understand why anyone would have a > need for a file-manager type app in a unix environment. but that is > besides the point I use a file manager when selecting what movie to watch when they all have similar names, and when arranging photos (using the thumbnails).
