I don't see why Thunar would be replaced.<br>

That was me suggesting that. Not because I hate Thunar, but because it sounded like nobody was interested in maintaing it and pcmanfm seems to be alternative that suits xfce well.<br>
But certainly didn't want to start a thunar vs pcmanfm war, if there are people willing to maintain thunar, then there's no need for a switch for me at all.<br>

Whilst Xfce lets its users<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
cherry-pick the packages they want (so that you can use Xfce with<br>
another file manager, unlike other DEs), Thunar is a core element of<br>
the Xfce experience. Thunar is about the same things as Xfce: simple,<br>
modular, functional. In Xfce I believe we all care about user<br>
experience, about making intuitive and uncluttered interfaces and<br>
letting people opt in for complexity. Last time I had a look at LXDE,<br>
it had very different values. If I had to look at how Pcmanfm works<br>
and engage in discussions on how consistent its UI is, whether it<br>
offers the UX we want for the typical Xfce user's typical tasks, it<br>
would probably end up being very close to Thunar. Yet the developers<br>
(whose time is critically precious these days) would have to use a<br>
different codebase written with a different toolkit, and in the end<br>
produce a larger (more deps), less consistent desktop to integrate<br>
into distros.<br>
<br>
Hence if anybody ever cares about my opinion on Thunar, I'd say "let's<br>
fix the bugs, polish it a bit further but let's NOT replace it ever".<br>
I like Thunar.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
