Right click a folder in Thunar and select Open with. In Xubuntu it says: Open with "File manager" Open with "Catfish file search" Open with "Open Folder with Thunar" So the last one says "Open" and "with" twice. So maybe that could be improve to just say: Open with "Thunar" I dont know if it will not work in other cases.
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tree/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop.in.in It may be the case that this .desktop file is not needed anymore.
The only major difference to Thunar.desktop seems to be: NoDisplay=true MimeType=inode/directory; Where nodisplay just seems to prevent to have 2x a Thunar starter in the menu. MimeType=inode/directory; should be moved to Thunar.desktop.in.in if we remove Thunar-folder-handler.desktop.in.in
Created attachment 8607 removes Thunar-folder-handler.desktop Like that ? Afaik patch only should be applied to master, since it will change(remove) some translation strings.
