Ubuntu – Xubuntu Thunar Menu Bar disabled, now lost forever

thunarxubuntu

I have been using Xubuntu (latest version 14) for quite a while, and I love it. However, recently I was using the Thunar File Manager, and decided to see what it looks like with a little more real estate by disabling the top Menu Bar in the Views function. Well, Thunar did what I asked it to, but now without a Menu Bar, I have no way of getting back to the View menu to re-activate the Menu Bar. I tried Alt-V and Alt-Shift-V, but nothing happens. HELP! How do I get my Menu Bar back?
Thanks, Ray.

The shortcut for disabling and enabling the menu bar in my German version is Ctrl+M.

Try that.

Ubuntu – Thunar-archive-plugin not working

I fixed it by changing corresponding command in the gnome-file-roller.tap file. In my case this file has been placed at

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/thunar-archive-plugin/gnome-file-roller.tap

Just edit it replacing this line:

file-roller "--extract-to=$(pwd)" --extract-here --force "$@"

with this one:

file-roller --extract-here --force "$@"

Ubuntu – File/directory compare with right click in Thunar / Xubuntu

The accepted answer is very close, but not entirely correct.

In order to compare multiple files / directories, create a new Action with the following command:

meld %F

Only using "meld %f" will only allow you to open one object in meld.

See attached screenshots for an example.

I would have made this a comment, but I am not yet allowed to do so.
