            Bug ID: 15421
           Summary: Directory with partially accessible files
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.8.6
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: twoertwein at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.8.5

Accessing attributes of files/sub-directories in a directory might be prevented
by a linux security module (e.g., caitsith/tomoyo can restrict access to
'getattr'). If there is at least one such file in a directory, thunar displays
an error message "Error when getting information on file 'xyz': Operation not
permitted" and does not list any of the remaining files in the directory.

It would be great, if thunar proceeds with displaying all (remaining) files in
the directory (pcmanfm simply ignores the error but displays the failed file
with a question mark icon - I really like this behavior).
