The sidepanel in Thunar v4.18.8 is complete rubbish!
No favourites and different heights of the objects. And if I expand airikr in the sidepanel, all folders in that folder will be listed. It's like the developers of Thunar wanted to make Thunar a clone of Windows Explorer or something. I hate it!
This happened few months ago after an update. On the laptop, I have version 4.18.7 and there's the sidepanel completely normal.
How do I fix this piece of garbage? By downgrading? How?
I've been using the default file manager for Linux Mint Cinnamon (as far as I remember it is), Nemo. It's okay, but I do miss Thunar for several reasons.
Yes the name sucks, but I've never seen another file manager with tabs, split view, customizable buttons, buttonizable nav bar, and have three different gui kits to choose from (Qt5, gtk2, gtk3). Really hard to beat all that.
What I can remember, I tried that when Thunar got updated. No difference. The Shortcuts view doesn't have these different heights, so I am now happy :) Time to finally uninstall Nemo.
@airikr@Frellwit you will see that one can not uninstall Nemo from Linux Mint as it is tied to the distro’s WM/DM… but you can replace the default file manager (as you probably did). Thunar rocks!
