Suggestion - Ergonomy - Thunar : Opening multiple files via keyboard

Hi everybody.

When you select multiple files in thunar and then press enter to open them, only the first will be opened.
It would be more natural if they would all open, I think.

To prevent the opening of 2000 files in one time during a unwanted key-press, an alert could pop if selected files number is higher than 20 for example.

If I'm the only one to give attention to this, forget this suggestion .

A few of the devs watch the forums but I'm not sure if Jannis is active, might file a feature request on the bugzilla site (http://bugs.xfce.org) and see where it goes from there.

Re: Suggestion - Ergonomy - Thunar : Opening multiple files via keyboard

Thanks for the advice,

I've just submit a enhancement bug there : https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7841

Concerning new features, I've spent some time on the pinta's feature requests manager (uservoice) which is really nice : http://pinta.uservoice.com/forums/105955-general

It's a good tool to know for community managers I guess.
