My excuse for my previous email with the screenshots and it's file size.
I should have made the screenshots black and white and used --select and
--border to only have the terminal and thunar in the screenshots, this
maybe saved 50% of the filesizes, else i could have used imagepaste and
send only the links in the mail.

I now just hope all readers can appreciate some nice visual artwork :-p

Best regards,
