            Bug ID: 14117
           Summary: Confusing File Owner Name in Thunar
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Core
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: bas7 at casema.nl
                CC: benny at xfce.org, hjudt at xfce.org
  Target Milestone: 1.8.0

Description of problem:


Passwd contains the fields:

    Username: It is used when user logs in. It should be between 1 and 32
characters in length.
    User ID Info: The comment field. It allow you to add extra information
about the users such as user’s full name, phone number etc. This field use by
finger command.


It appears that Thunar shows in the column owner the "User ID Info" followed by
the Username in paranthesis. This can be very usefull for a lot of scenario's. 

However, I would greatly prefer that Thumar just shows the Username. The reason
is that all command line utilities, like ls, show the Username by default. I'm
quite sure that a lot of linux users will appreciate this conformity.

Therefor, I suggest to make a configuration option by which the linux standard
can be enforced, i.e. showing passwd Username. 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Thunar-1.6.13-1.fc27.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always, just configure column to show owner. 

Steps to Reproduce:
