Today I upgraded thunar (1.6.15-1 -> 1.8.9-2) Now to reproduce 1. Clone some middle-sized git repository, example: git clone https://github.com/daniruiz/flat-remix-gtk.git 2. Open the repository in thunar 3. ctrl+a and shft+delete You will notice that in Xfce 4.14 (compared to 4.12) the dialog with removing files actually shows what is being removed. It's more accurate, it's true. However, removal process takes forever, compared to xfce 4.12 or rm -rf. I think that the previous inaccurate progress bar was much better because you wouldn't wait anyway. I'm using SSD disc.

Using shift+delete on the clone repository: thunar 1.8.9: ~35 seconds thunar 1.6.11: ~20 seconds nautilus: ~25 seconds nemo: instantly thunar master: ~20 seconds Please let know if it works well before cherry picking this fix to thunar 1.8.x.
1.8.9 - 28s 1.6.15 - 15s d82652eb - 15s Thanks! I'm really thrilled that I can just report a bug and it gets fixed so fast :)
