The One with the Thoughts of Frans

Is Thunar the first Gtk file browser to implement breadcrumbs almost right?

The biggest issue with breadcrumbs in Nautilus and Nemo is that suddenly you can only reach the full path by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + L or with too precise clicking somewhere far from where you need to be. Thunar has always shared this problem, but it looks like it was silently fixed in the 1.8.x release. (That is, I couldn’t find anything about it in the NEWS file.)

Note how everything to the right of the breadcrumbs is a giant button to activate location entry. Very elegant. Next, let’s have some “Open terminal here” on the breadcrumbs!
