Ok, that's your choice to make, although I'll keep applying this patch to Thunar
whenever I build it, since it really does make managing properties of large
numbers of files at once a breeze. For example, I just copied over a bunch of
files from a backup, and wanted to change permissions on a few, so I just opened
properties and rolled through all the files.

I'm just wondering if you could explain your reasons for rejecting this
patch -- Perhaps there's some way I can keep the increased functionality,
but modify it to be acceptable.
