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

[Aurelius Octavian]

Hello and thanks for your reply,

Concerning (2) :
It's just normal deletes of normal files, mostly resulting in the mentioned 
error. I now consulted the bug database on launchpad and one of the Xubuntu 
developers (Flocculant) reported on 18th September this bug and it has been 
confirmed by several users. It's this bug report here:

"File restore from wastebin not working"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1497175


Concerning (1) :
Another user reported this bug already in July, but so far only two other 
people (including me now) confirmed this bug, and there's very few 
information to encircle it. Anyway, it's here:

"Thunar crashes when I have multiple files highlighted and drag then drop them"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1472050


Concerning (3) :
I've filed a new bug report here

"File couldn't be moved to trash: Invalid link across device boundaries"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1497918


Any user experiencing one or more of these three bugs, please also vote for 
the bug on launchpad via one of the above links. Thank you.

P.S. Jordan, I found Thunar (in Xubuntu 15.10) to be even better than in 
Xubuntu 14.04 (my used version before), so maybe you would like to give it a 
try again, once the bugs are sorted out.

Greetings!
