How recover file lost when Thunar crashed during cut-and-paste?

[Mark Ballard]

I've been using Thunar intensely for years. So I'm aware of its recent bug
infestation. It's no reason to jump ship though. It's not fatal. It just
keeps bombing out. I got used to it being a bit temperamental lately.

Seems sensible to me that Thunar should have an "Undo" and a "Clipboard" to
support its cut-and-paste file operation. Very remiss of the developers to
implement the cut-and-paste without a failsafe. The loss of a file when
doing a cut-paste file operation is pretty rough.
