The guys Xfce have added a functionality in the version 4.10 that I had not discovered and that turns out to be very useful: rename multiple folders and files using the Thunar Mass Renamer.
If I'm not wrong, both KDE y Gnome had the option to rename files and folders at the same time, not being the case in Xfce, until now. If we select several files or folders, and press [F2] or right click with the Mouse »Rename, the Thunar Mass Renamer with our selection. Great idea!!
Sure, this only works from Thunar, not being the case with the desktop icons, as these are managed xfdesktop.
This was already brought by Xfce4.8 ... Maybe you haven't used it before ...?
You're right, I just tried it and it works, I didn't know, something is learned every day.
How do you see the properties of several selected folders?
When I do it (right click) the properties option is disabled.
All this in xfce 4.8
That I had already seen in xfce4.8 but never used it
Off topic. What are those icons and the GTK theme? Those windows look great. 😀
Apparently he is using the Gkt theme «Zukitwo» and as icons «Elementary» 🙂
rather they look like gnome-colors
They are actually Gnome Brave ee and yes, the GTK and Xfwm4 is Zukitwo ...
That option is excellent. Also in XFCE 4.8 it is already available, I have Xubuntu 12.04 with XFCE 4.8 and it works perfectly when I press F2 in Thunar.
Greetings.
Well look at that, I thought that would only come in Xfce 4.10, because in Xfce 4.8 several times I tried to rename multiple files and I could not .. How strange.
