[xubuntu-users] move a file from its location via gui

[John R. Sowden]

Where do I begin?
First, I never have understood the xml language.  Looking at the source 
code does not tell me what is going on.  I must be wearing my Foxpro and 
Pascal blinders a little tight.  Therefore I don't understand your code; 
and it's broken into 2 sections on the pastebin site.  Do I read in 
both?  And paste them onto the uca.xml file?

Next I searched for a uca.xml file. I found 2, both related to Thunar:
   /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/Thunar
   /etc/xdg/Thunar

Should I  have 2?  If so which, or both, do I attach your code to?

Thanks,
John
