Two years ago, I reported here that Thunar right-click+drag > "Extract Here" option had gone missing (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2472206). Now, I needed to compile Thunar 4.19.2 for Xubuntu 22.04, and saw that issue still exists there, so dug into it again. And this time was able to come up with a small patch to Thunar 4.19.2 that fix the issue (probably not the best fix, since I don't actually know what I'm doing in C/C++, but it seems to do the job so should at least point in the right direction).

I would like to bring this patch to the attention of Xfce devs. Various places on Xfce website make clear they want this sort of thing raised here (https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/-/issues). This requires an account, which registering means agreeing to their terms of service and privacy policy at a deeper level. But I'm unable to find either ToS or privacy policy...for any part of the Xfce website at all?

Could someone please point me to the ToS and privacy policy for Xfce's self-hosted Gitlab instance? Thanks :)

bump

Have also tried sharing the actual patch in the Launchpad bug report (comment #2) (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1962372), also asking if someone already registered at Xfce's Gitlab could ask Xfce devs about it, but no response so far.

Thanks gezzer2 for the reply. That particular mailing list seems no longer active since May 2020, but looking at the main page of that site it looks like some other Xfce mailing lists are still active. Recent messages on the active Xfce mailing lists mention that they use something called Matrix on matrix.org as a replacement for IRC, maybe I can try to figure out what that is, look into that & maybe contact Xfce devs that way? :-k

I can't seem to get #xubuntu-devel to open on IRC.

Maybe ask your question here: https://xubuntu.org/irc/

I recognize at least one Dev on that channel.

Oops, you wanted Xfce devs, Sorry!
