> I think Nautilus and Nemo have it right in this case (that is: opening at the file, instead of opening the file).
What makes you think that ?
If some other application wants to open just the containing folder, why than
the full file path is passed as argument, instead of the containing folder path
?
To just hang and consume 100% CPU does not look very "right" for me. So IMO
thunar does it right.
.
If other file-managers cannot handle a path up to the file, they should either
throw an error, or just open the parent folder. But that's not a thunar prolem
and not an exo problem.

You dont have to use exo for that purpose. You as well can use the API of
org.freedesktop.FileManager1:

( thunar just got support for it in master )
