            Bug ID: 15606
           Summary: Unable to see file name of executeable files
                    (".desktop" is removed)
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.8.6
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: scootergrisen at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.8.7

Right click desktop and create a launcher.
Call it "banana" or something.

The file name becames "banana.desktop" but the desktop only shows "banana".

Right click the file and select properties og go change  the executeable bit in
permissions tab.
If you set executeable on the name in the title (and general tab) is "banana".
If you set executeable off the name in the title (and general tab) is
"banana.desktop".

I see it might be desired to avoid the ".desktop" part of the file name on the
desktop but i would also like to be able to see the filename in the GUI
(Thunar).
So i would think its best to show with ".desktop" in the title and general tab
and perhaps other files the file name is.
Otherwise you dont seem to be able to see the filename in Thunar but have to
use another program to see the filename.
