[Thunar-dev] Proposed preferences for Thunar

[Erik Peterson]

Hi all.

Excited that Thunar discussion has been on the  increase!

Just thought I would add that the behavior for the above on OS X is to
keep open and focused the new view/window.  From what I can tell the
same window is used if you try and move files around in the finder
itself but if you hover over a folder on the desktop a new window is
opened.  I have found this to be very satisfactory behavior.
