Opening folders problem with Thunar
After today pacman -Syu, my archlinux machine has a strange issue. The first time I open a folder with thunar, it works alright, the second one I try it fails. I have to close thunar and open it again.
I've tried to use pcmanfm, and the problem is the same.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Opening folders problem with Thunar
2 things to try first
1.Have you checked the permissions of the folders you are trying to open?
2. Open Thunar or PCmanfm with the terminal and paste output.

Yep, it seems to be a gtk2 new package problem.

Re: Opening folders problem with Thunar
Ok, here's a little OT question, but just in spirit of not opening a new thread for it: wine and thunar... how to change the title in the status bar for certain files? I've installed something (m$ office) with wine which was in portuguese language (and i'm croatian 
), and now when i focus on those files associated with office tools, i get "<somefilename><somesize kB> Assistente do Microsoft Word" title in status bar...
How to change that so it says it in english as I've installed an english version now?

Re: Opening folders problem with Thunar
Looks like someone already filed a bug report for this. In the short term, I found that switching to anything other than "detailed list view" makes Thunar work fine.

Re: Opening folders problem with Thunar
Also, you can go into preferences and choose "Single Click" to open folders. That works as well.

Re: Opening folders problem with Thunar
You could possibly find out more if you run thunar from the command line and read the output. Then again, if it is a registered bug, it should probably be fixed upstream

The problem in question doesn't give you anything to go on, I've also been experiencing and tried that myself.
