Hmmm, I have not had issues with thunar even after updating. I like thunar a lot and probably will not change. Change is hard on us old folks anyway! I wonder if some of your settings may be the culprit for the crashes, just a thought.
Well my thunar, when in root mode, will not allow my icons to show. But it does show the text. I’m guessing that thunar may have a bug that causes some of the issues. But I like thunar the best, even with its strange behaviors that show up. Yours is an interesting situation. I’m reading up on PCmanFM though to see if it works better and yet still have the functionality I want. @m.rogers it looks as if yours has a window trying to open up within your thunar or a dialogue box perhaps?
I have already taken care of that awhile ago. Yes, I did put them in /usr/share/icons/ which solved my issue. Just a bonehead error on my part. But, yep I did solve that issue, just forgot to mention it on the forum. So much going on that if it were possible, I would forget my brain in the jar that I put in every night. Speaking of which, where did I put it…
