There’s also a rather interesting new file highlighting feature (accessed from the file properties dialog). Split View, and file highlight in Thunar 4.18 Split View splits the active window into independently navigable columns with drag/drop support between them. With the 4.18 uplift, you can add a new Split View icon to Thunar’s toolbar (this is also available in the View menu, or by hitting F3). Thunar’s newly editable toolbar lets you add and reorder toolbar icons based on your needs. A more practical option lets you display it ‘standalone’ on the right, where there’s more room for the actual preview. This displays a larger preview of a selected image on the left of the app by default, taking up space in the sidebar. As part of the Xfce 4.18 release the tool picks up a plethora of new features and extended capabilities – more than a lot of folks may have been expecting.įor instance, it’s now possible to enable an image preview sidebar. Those offer a better starting point than this post (which only looks at what’s new-since-last-time). Anyone unfamiliar with the unique selling points of this desktop environment should head to the official Xfce website or Wikipedia page. Note: this post is not an introduction to Xfce. I dug through code commits, developer tweets, and the odd bug report or two to write-up this run-down on what you’ll find inside. Keen to discover what’s new and improved in the latest version of this lightweight desktop? I certainly was. It is the stable series follow-up to the Xfce 4.16 release that made its debut during Christmas of 2020 (and that release brought some cool new features with it like -hurrah- fractional scaling support). Nearly two years of development have gone in to shaping Xfce 4.18, which formally released on December 15, 2022. There’s a crackle of excitement in the air as, today, an all-new version of the Xfce desktop environment was released!
