A few days ago we had the pleasant news that Thunar would have tab support in its version 1.5 and now, via Webupd8 , I've learned that Xubuntu users have the opportunity to try it out and use it in both version 12.04 and 12.10.
As they clarify in the comments, this has to be done at your own risk since packages corresponding to a version of Xfce in current development will be installed
To do this we open a terminal and put:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgradeAnd subsequently:
thunar -qThis version of Thunar has received some interesting improvements, including the option to permanently delete a file or folder, and of course adjustments and fixes.
