No, no errors on the terminal.
I've also dicovered that Thunar does not hold settings not only after closing it and then opening it again but before it is closed.
eg> If I change the settings and then close the settings window ...
ie: Edit -> Preferences -> Close
... on opening the Preferences menu again I find that the settings I had changed have gone back to the previous state they were in, all this without having closed Thunar.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
MM

In my Devuan ASCII installation, it seems that the Thunar settings are stored in /home/userid/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml

My TC 7.2 installation (to see if I can get the nvidia-340 stuff working) only has home/tc/.config/Thunar/accels.scm and home/tc/.config/Thunar/uca.xlm
accels.scm is an automated accelerator map dump and uca.xlm is for setting Thunar custom actions.
Evidently, instaling Thunar does not pull these settings in (not in 7.2 or 10.1).
Is there some dependency missing here?
Thanks in advance,
MM

uca.xlm can be found here:
--- Code: ---/usr/local/etc/xdg/Thunar/uca.xml
--- End code ---
Maybe it needs xdg-utils?

It has different content.

I loaded it but still no fun.
Seems it's been rather a long time since the presently available version of Thunar was compiled for TC, like 4/5 years ago.
Maybe something's gone awry with it and the newer kernels/libraries?
The fact that libffi5 was needed and was not in the dep file sort of tells us something ...
No one noticed it before? eg: the version for TC 7.2 has the same problem.
Or is it just that Thunar is not a popular choice with TCers?
That said: is there any other suitable file managed for TC?
Thanks in advance,
MM

Do you need xfconf or one of the xfce4 bits and pieces?
