still are a few regressions:
- replacements for the current thumbnailers are missing. Basically,
what we need are tumbler plugins for fast JPEG thumbnails based on
EXIF data and libjpeg, font thumbnails and a wrapper plugin for
ThunarVFS thumbnailer scripts.
- Trash and volume management are currently not possible without
GVfs. Of course we could say "just install GVfs then!" but I'd like
to have about the same functionality as before *without* too many
new dependencies. I'll have to investigate how complicated it would
be to turn Thunar's trash implementation into a GIO backend. Work
on a GIO volume monitor extension based on DeviceKit-disks has
already begun on http://git.xfce.org/jannis/thunar-volume-monitor/.
There are a few more which are less important but still kinda crucial,
so for now the branch will not be merged into trunk.
