Description

User-Agent: Opera/9.22 (X11; Linux i686; U; de) Build Identifier:

Thunar’s renamer dialog for single files is no good solution in regard to usability.

It forces you to move your focus from the actual place where you want the action to happen (the icon) to another one (the dialog) and find your starting point again afterwards. This is bad. Thus, the renaming should happen in place.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Rename a single object

Actual Results:
The renaming dialog pops out.

Expected Results:
The icon label should become editable and highlight the current file name just as the dialog currently does.

Version: 0.8.0
