            Bug ID: 16137
           Summary: Thunar crash when executable produces multiple output
                    files
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Core
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: hyper-nova at live.co.uk
  Target Milestone: 1.8.10

I think I've filed this as a bug before - but it was a long time ago and I
don't recall where I filed it, so trying again.

Essentially the problem is this - I have some code which analyses some data,
and produces a large number of output files. Sometimes, and only sometimes, if
thunar is open and the current directory is set to where those output files
will be created, when I run my code, thunar crashes.

The thunar window goes grey, and then a prompt appears telling me that thunar
has stopped responding.

Sorry I didn't put much effort into fixing this last time, but I would really
like to get this sorted, because this issue has plagued me for about 4 years
now. (I don't want to change desktop env just to get away from this problem as
obviously xfce is great.)

I'm hoping perhaps an experienced dev could assign to this issue, perhaps we
can exchange email addresses - I can give you my postgrad institution one so
you can look up who I am and then perhaps we can exchange phone numbers and get
this issue sorted. I think this will be necessary, because I haven't found any
way to re-produce the bug other than using the very specific combination of
software that I am using. Who knows, it may not even be specifically an
xfce/thunar problem. It might be an issue on a deeper OS level, I don't know.

I also haven't heard of anyone else having this problem before, so I don't
think it's a known about issue (other than I did report it probably 2 years
ago). It's probably literally just me who has the problem, although I can ask
some of my colleagues.
