[xubuntu-users] Heavy bugs in Thunar 1.6.10 (Xubuntu 15.10 beta1)

[JMZ]

With regard to (2): did you use a secure-delete application like srm 
beforehand to delete the unrecoverable files?

Also, are you trying to access a log file or other rapidly changing 
system file?  Thunar might not be able to give the latest file version.  
The file might be in the process of update at the same time you're 
trying to access it.

op-ed/rant: I don't really use thunar save for one action: concentrating 
the file contents of a large number of small folders together into one 
huge folder.  This is possible to do on command lines, but can be a pain 
to keep track of multiple shells etc. Especially for sensitive files, 
it's better to use the command line to check for user privileges and 
file attributes (read/write/execute etc.) before using thunar.
