Description

The device order in the sidebar both in tree and bookmark view isn't constant and fluctuates when you plugin a device, mount or unmount.

Plugin steps:

  1. open thunar
  2. plugin in a phone
  3. it appears at bottom
  4. restart thunar
  5. now it appears below File System

Unmount steps:

  1. open thunar
  2. mount a partition
  3. unmount partition
  4. notice its now at the bottom of the list

The constant order should be

  1. File System
  2. Internal Partitions
  3. External Partitions (USB/Hard Disk)
  4. External Devices
