[opensuse-xfce] How to disable default checkbox?

Hello. I open an unknown file and see a dialog to choose an application. Probably, I don't want to use the same app for a next file. But the checkbox is always checked. http://susepaste.org/view/simple/82368946 How to uncheck it by default? -- WBR Kyrill

How to uncheck it by default?
Have a look at the source: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tree/thunar/thunar-chooser-dialog.c#n284 The checkbox is currently hardcoded to be active. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the info. Could we change this behavior in openSUSE? As far as I remember, there is a similar option in MS Windows (know nothing about KDE or GNOME), and it is inactive by default. It looks more logically for me. -- WBR Kyrill

In GNOME a previously unknown filetype always gets associated with the application you first open it with (there is no checkbox to disable this), in KDE OTOH it will never be associated with the application you open it with (no checkbox to enable this either). I'd rather avoid carrying such a patch which will never be merged upstream and given that this boils down to personal preference either way someone is likely be annoyed by either behavior. The right thing to resolve this would probably be a setting in Thunar allowing people to have their preferred behavior be remembered (which you originally asked for). Would you mind filing an enhancement request at https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ against Thunar (and subscribe me as well)? No guarantee this will be implemented given how development has slowed down but it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with a patch and it won't get lost this way. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner@opensuse.org

Fixed in git.xfce.org (?). May we have a patch in "X11:xfce/thunar" to test if it works? -- WBR Kyrill

I just updated Thunar to 1.6.9 which was released today, I guess that should do? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner@opensuse.org
