Small cosmetic bug, that caused me some mistakes.

Please make all .destkop files from thunar lowercase like all other gtk based application, seems to be best practice .

Thanks in advance,

I agree there's no real reason for thunar (and also terminal) executables, icons and desktop entries to start with a capital letter but it doesn't really matter, especially since there is also a lower-case version of the executable.

If you're worried about the actual filename of the desktop entry, you're doing something wrong.

Yes I was pointing to the actual filename, used use a rename command to make it lowercase and you make me happy. I was doing some automation on the files and Thunar.desktop was an anomaly. I know its a little thing, but its not hard to fix... It kind of simple to say the report is invalid and resolved...

Can you explain what kind of automation? Because, seriously, if you deal with desktop entries, you don't care about their filenames at all ... never. You care about the information they contain and nothing else. (Well, this is not entirely true as the filenames are used for desktop file IDs internally, but even then capital letters are not an issue.)

So, again, whatever automation you're doing, it seems mislead if you require filenames to be lowercase.
