Created attachment 3526 Adds two fields to the UCA appearance condition tab In case the Thunar Actions vaporware plugin http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/projects/thunar-actions-plugin never comes out, this is something that can make UCA a bit more flexible. Some actions don't make sense if the number of files you apply them to is too large or too small. An example is the meld diff viewer suggested in http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/custom_actions. Meld let's you compare 2 files or 3 files... but not one or four. Therefore I have made a patch that lets you set upper and lower limits for the applicability of a user action.

It's a shame that since someone bothered to make a patch to implement this, no one from the XFCE team didn't bother to implement it at the time and not leave it abandoned.

Thunar was not maintained for some years and afaik nobody pointed at the patch via mailing list or IRC .. so no surprise. Xfce team all are volunteers, they spend their free time working on the code. There are >300 open thunar bugs ... this one already made it to my shortlist, but currently I am working on more important stuff. You want to speed up the process ? How about you, standing up and porting the patch so that it works for master ?
(In reply to alexxcons from comment #4) Precisely at the time someone took the time to do that patch but the only thing he received was silence. Was it so complicated to incorporate it in its moment to the code and increase the usability of Thunar? Now so many years later that patch is useless. If Thunar were written in another language I would be happy to implement it but the C language resists me.

No maintainer --> nobody receiving/reading bugzilla changes --> silence > Was it so complicated to incorporate it in its moment to the code and increase the usability of Thunar? If nobody recognizes that there is a patch .. who exactly should take care ? Xfce just was lacking developers (and still is). > Now so many years later that patch is useless. Thats wrong. The patch just needs to be ported to master. Even if porting is not easily possible, it helps alot to already have a blueprint. > If Thunar were written in another language I would be happy to implement it but the C language resists me. That's a pity. Actually you dont need much C knowledge .. it is much more important to learn how to use gtk.
