[xubuntu] Thunar Custom Action to Change folder View Style?

(This is not a duplicate as this question describes how to add custom icons to folders in Nautilus, whereas there seems to be no explanation for Thunar.)

In Nautilus (as this questions shows) there is the fun feature of being able to place any custom icon onto a folder by just right clicking the folder, clicking the folder in the menu that comes up and selecting a custom icon.

I am messing around with Thunar and Openbox, and am wondering:

I'd love a list view instead of a view with icons, which is doable, but it makes it hard to pick out folders from files. Is there a way to configure thunar, so folders can be displayed in a distinct colour, and if so, where do I go?

Thanks in advance!

As per tittle, how do I reset all custom view setting for all folders that I previously set a custom view mode (icon/list/compact) for? I made a change to the Default View setting in Preferences and I want old folders to use that new setting.

Hi, I recently switched to xubuntu from ubuntu and am loving it.

My only gripe is with the file manager arrange icons. In ubuntu, I think it is called nautilus, allowed me to arrange icons in one folder one way, and then in another folder another way. For example by name in music.

Folder Based settings allow each folder to have it's own zoom, and it's own view type (list view, icon view, compact view). While one global setting means there is only one zoom setting and one view setting and it will be used on all your folders.

At the heart of this, is the question are all folders the same. For me they clearly are not.

Is there a way which could let me know all the file status by just looking at the folder view, like what TortoiseHg, TortoiseSVN, TortoiseGit did on windows?

Now my git repo folder looks the same as other folders. If I want to view file status I have to type git status in the command line.

Thunar has an option to add context menu custom actions to open Terminal, or to open folders and files in different applications.

Could it be possible to add a menu custom action that would open Thunar itself as root?

i have quickaction on my listview .

i need to create a simple view with an ImageView and a TextView like:

So i would create a dinamically ( the number of my custom views can change each time my application is started ) a LinearLayout like:

Can someone give me a tutorial or an example on how to create that? :)
