thunar 0.4rc1 cpu usage

[Antonio SJ Musumeci]

I'm running Crux. With my own hal and dbus packages.

I noticed the standalone renamer worked as I described... it's just that 
i'm normally in thunar when i decided to do the bulk renames. Easier to 
select a certain set of files to rename. Also... i believe the ROX one 
doesnt actually rename... just applies the change to the working 
filename and when you are finished you tell it to rename them.
