User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080325 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.13

www.squeeze.xfce.org does NOT have ANY useful documentation. It NOW has a link to the Thunar Archive Manager Plugin article which resolved Squeeze -> Thunar  Integration for me. Thanks Stephan! (And Benedikt!!: who wrote the article)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate via web browser to "http://squeeze.xfce.org/documentation"
2. You will NOW find: Link to Thunar Integration via Thunar Archive Manager Plugin
3. You will continue to find: Roadmap
4. You will FAIL to find useful documentation.

Actual Results:  
You will FAIL to find useful documentation (this is understandable, Squeeze is new) but it IS a problem, which Google didn't resolve (for me).

Expected Results:  
I hoped to find : 
* Summary of commands
* Man Page
* Instructions / Procedure on how to Integrate Squeeze Into Thunar ( I was informed that this should be done via the Thunar Archive Manager Plugin, so the link to the instruction page suffices. It could be tailored to Squeeze, specifically).
* Instructions / Procedures / List of command(s) necessary to acheive various results via the creation of Thunar Custom Actions for those who: 
  - don't want the plugin (for any reason) (think modularity)
  - only want to test Squeeze out, for a trial period.
  - Like another default Archive Manager, but want a quck and easy option to create archives simply via Custom Actions in Thunar.


I would be willing to work with the author of Squeeze to generate documentation that will satisfy the issues and make me happy (scratch my personal itch).

P.S. I <3 Squeeze. It's CUTE and FAST and Natively Xfce (so what's not to like?)

P.P.S. I am applying for membership to the Xubuntu Team to help work on my Xfce needs: i.e. amd64 SMP support and 64bit support for my 8GB RAM. I like Xfce for it's looks and logical arrangement, and adherence to FreeDesktop.org Standards, and because it is the best GUI since NeXTSTEP for Yours Truly.

I would like to assist Xfce with documentation support and any other necessary duties. I am disabled and have much free time to devote to Libre "causeware" like Xfce and Xubuntu. Plus I need a hobby to avert Cabin Fever. Pls. Thx.

I would like to  assist Squeeze as my first pet project by helping to develop documentation for Squeeze. I would like to lobby Xubuntu to replace File-Roller with Squeeze, or make it an optional (meta?)package.

I would like to write a how to on how Squeeze can be used as a Custom Action in Thunar. I think I got it to work, I am still testing it out, thanks to the Custom Action command in PhATCH (http://photobatch.stani.be/) which my procedure helped him develop an automated Custom Action for integration with Thunar, without causing Thunar to have a dependency on pywxWindows, the Widget Toolkit that PhATCH uses for cross platform portability.

I can be reached directly at itsanudae at g mail dot com. Thanks for your help, and looking forward to assisting Squeeze and Xfce in general.
