Description dg1727 2012-11-23 20:36:15 CET
(XFCE 4.10 on Xubuntu 12.10) 

In the thunar-volman GUI, "Browse removable media when inserted" is enabled.  

On the (applications menu) > Settings Manager > Preferred Applications > Utilities tab, "File Manager" is set to something other than Thunar.  (I selected Nautilus.)  

When a removable volume is inserted, and then XFCE auto-mounts & auto-browses the volume, the file manager used for the auto-browse is always Thunar, instead of what the user selected.

The bug happens when in the thunar-volman GUI, "Browse removable media when inserted" is enabled.

Too, on the (applications menu) > Settings Manager > Preferred Applications > Utilities tab, "File Manager" is set to something other than Thunar.  (I selected Nautilus.)

When a removable volume is inserted, and then XFCE auto-mounts & auto- browses the volume, the file manager used for the auto-browse is always Thunar, instead of what the user selected.

Since xfce permits to select different file managers besides the standard one, thunar, a drop down list should be presented in thunar-volman in order to permit the user to manage the volumes with their preferred file manager

Hah, interesting configuration, so you are running a thunar daemon in the background, featuring thunar-volman, just to open some other file-manager :P

Note that this service will be gone, if you should choose to uninstall thunar.

But yes, valid point that the default file-manager should be used ... this is easy to fix, just give me a moment.
