Hi
I have the following version of Thunar installed:
1 extra/thunar 4.16.11-2 (1.2 MiB 6.3 MiB) [xfce4] (Installed)
I’d like to try out the 4.17 with split view
Does anyone use this &/or have any recommendations of which way to do this?
And how this would sit alongside my existing version?
Oh, I was t aware of that version, I only have Thunar 4.16.10 installed.
Here s some info of 4.17;

Edit; Not available on Debian s repo as of yet but only on Experimental Repo only.
Try this one,
aur/thunar-git 4.17.7+66+gc710d268-1 (+13 0.00)
It probably will overwrite your installed one.
gonna try it on my VB AL first
Well, got it ! Noe I have to experiment with this version.

Cool!
Mr ‘guinea pig’ Altman to the rescue 
Did it overwrite your existing Tunar then i guess?
Any explosions or blood? 
Lol, it s rather unusual !
Did you have to install 3 missing dependencies?
Shit, I haven t noticed, I rebooted so I can t see what was installed or upgraded.
Their was like 7-8 updates, but I don t remember if their was any new dependencies .
Lol, now I need some big meds !
I get the below on my lappy with :

Wonder if you have to reboot, it s what I had to do in order to see the newer Thunar version oddly enough ! On that command; thunar -V
Same as with my kernel versions, but one might only logout & relogin again, but it s the way I do things on my end ! lol .
I just presumed that I had to install those dependencies first
