Possible thunar bug: initially not showing "execute" option after changing file permitions
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 8:08 am
Hi, I recently realized I may have stumble into a possible thunar bug:
I tend to use some Appimages, so I have to make every Appimage file executable. I do that via Thunar's gui, but I noticed that everytime I do that (and that does not happen very often) Thunar refuses to show the "execute" option on the contextual menu even if I refresh it. I have to go down a level on my directory file tree (sorry, old ms-dos expression, but I belive it applies to any file system) and when I re-enter the file's directory, Thunar now shows the "execute" option.
If it's a bug (and not a feature) I hope I noticed this in time to get it fixed before the next release.
Keep up the good work, MX-team!
