2. Open at least one tab
3. Close all instances of Thunar
4. Run `thunar ~`, or `xdg-open ~` if Thunar is set to the default file browser
#### Expected behavior
Previous tabs should be restored, in addition to the home folder being opened as either a new tab or window, depending on the configured "Open new thunar instances as tabs" preference.
#### Actual behavior
The home folder opens in a new Thunar instance and previous tabs are not restored. Running `thunar` while this instance is still open restores the previous tabs, potentially multiple times if run repeatedly.

Asking about symlink while displaying the link target's metadata makes the dialog rather confusing. Thunar should be more explicit in what it's going to replace (in case of symlinks).

One thing that's bugging me though is, using the arrow key/s from the keyboard to select the search results that I get after using the recursive search feature.
How to reproduce:
Say, I searched something in Thunar using the recursive search and got the filtered (searched) results. Now to select any item of the search results, either file or folders, I could use the mouse (which could be inconvenient for a keyboard-centric usage).
Or you could, as I found out, press the Tab key twice (the first Tab press would select the side pane, and the second Tab press would select the first search result). Now after pressing the Tab key twice, I could select the search results using the down arrow key from the keyboard.
Selecting the search results using just the keyboard is doable, as I just described. But it isn't very intuitive.
It would've been intuitive if I could select the first search results by just pressing the down arrow key from the keyboard. This would minimize the key press needed to get a work done and thus would improve Thunar's usability.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/874Local user name shown instead of remote one in a SFTP mount2024-01-14T11:27:28Zdrws rwxLocal user name shown instead of remote one in a SFTP mountThunar unfortunately shows a local user/group name with the same UID/GID as the remote one in case of a SFTP-mounted server.

Is there a reason this option is treated specially? The menu would be much more customizable if all entries were treated equally and were configurable. This would require implementing the `Desktop (Create Link)` option in a `.desktop` file.
Regarding the visual separation, I see no need for special treatment as well. However, if it's desired that the `Desktop (Create Link)` position stays hardcoded at the top of the `Send To` menu, I'm still proposing that the horizontal line separator between `Desktop (Create Link)` and the rest of the options in the `Send To` menu is removed to visually declutter the submenu.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/822SMB File Operation Data Counter2022-06-29T20:53:25Zoromis995SMB File Operation Data CounterWhen connection is dropped in the middle of an SMB file transfer operation, upon resuming the user is asked if the last file moved should be replaced.

Search now produces a result set, on which normal file operations and UCAs can run. Filtering with globs on a result set like this can still happen with `Select by Pattern` at present. However, sometimes it's nice to have a bit more control over what's _in_ the results set.
I think that the most useful pattern to support would be negation, or a logical NOT. It's also quite easy to implement!
## Thunar's current state
Currently, the search string is split on whitespace, and each such term must match in every target file's basename. This is a little like Nautilus's implementation.
## Other implementations
Nautilus does not support negation, so implementing this will make Thunar's recursive search more useful than Nautilus's.
Internet search engines use a `-` at the front of a search term to indicate that results should not include that term. Something like this should work well when searching trees with lots of false positives.
This would make the Thunar search something like [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)'s `--exact` mode. That uses `!` as its prefix for NOT-terms, but the concept is very similar.
## Expected behaviour
I definitely prefer the `-` prefix to `!`, and there are probably more people using Google or DuckDuckGo than there are using fzf. That said, it does mean you can't search for specific file names with a search term beginning with a `-` (searching for `-min` wouldn't match `hyphen-minus.txt`). `!` has the advantage of being terminal punctuation in most languages, so it is less likely to appear in a file or directory name at the start of a string (some exceptions: RISC OS application directories, old systems where `!readme.txt` sorts earlier etc.)
Should we go with `-` due to user familiarity, I would expect the search string `pear -apple -tag` to match 'pear juice.txt' but not any of `APPLE AND PEAR PRICE COMPARISON.DOCX`, `pineapple.jpg`, or `pear and pomegranate tagine recipe.md`.
## Future ideas and scope
Perhaps one day we we could unify the syntax for `Search` and `Select by Pattern` so that Thunar doesn't have to support two different search/select syntaxes. I think that's outside the scope of this feature request. It's best keep things simple at first and test!
The limitation mentioned above would disappear if one could search for `*-min*`. One day, perhaps.Andrew ChadwickAndrew Chadwickhttps://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues/730Add focus indicator to split view2023-05-23T23:12:40ZTheo LinkspfeiferAdd focus indicator to split viewDepending on the GTK theme there may or may not be a clear visual indication for the active pane in the recently implemented split view (#445).

## Description
Dear developers,
in Thunar (and possibly in any dialog which shows folders and files) is it possible to make an option to show NON hidden folders\files first?
Actually it works like this:
.hidden_folder_1
.hidden_folder_2
.hidden_folder_3
folder_1
folder_2
folder_3
.hidden_file_1
.hidden_file_2
.hidden_file_3
file_1
file_2
file_3
It would be a nice option to be able to switch the view like this:
folder_1
folder_2
folder_3
.hidden_folder_1
.hidden_folder_2
.hidden_folder_3
file_1
file_2
file_3
.hidden_file_1
.hidden_file_2
.hidden_file_3
Thanks for your work!
