Xfce

Mentors: Student: Yogesh Kaushik

I plan to improvise the three components mentioned above of Xfce. By the end of GSoC's coding period, I am planning to: 1. Make Thunar bulk renamer capable of resolving as many name conflicts as it can, without having any user interference, 2. Add support for custom actions in Xfce-Screenshooter and decouple it from Imgur. 3. Merge the DateTime plugin with the Clock plugin in Xfce-Panel.

Thunar is a light-weight file manager under the XFCE project, written in C and GTK3. While functional and fast, it lacks some useful features present in other file managers, such as undo-redo, file counts for folders, and pictures specific maximized thumbnail view. This project aims to implement these features and add them to Thunar.

Thunar is a modern file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It supports 3 types of views - List View, Icon View & Compact View. As a part of my project I will be adding the functionality of tree-like expansion of non-empty folders in the List View. Additionally I will be adding a feature to enable file highlighting in Thunar. This will enable the user to highlight their favorite/important files with the color of their choice. Xfce also offers a terminal application called Xfce-Terminal. My project also includes working on Xfce-Terminal to introduce Profiles. Currently all settings in Xfce-Terminal are global. I will be adding the functionality and feature set to allow users to create profiles, amongst which they can quickly switch between across tabs. This allows the user to have different settings on different tabs/windows and simultaneously work with them.
