Creating a fresh .config file didn't do the trick BUT installing Thunar 4.20.1 from the Test repo DID! It's opening again, behaving as it should and, I thought I'd noticed, winking at me in a mischievous sort of way as if to say: Should have asked @timkb4cq before raising an alarm. So thank you very much for uploading the latest Thunar release and pointing me in the right direction :-)timkb4cq wrote: Mon Jan 13, 2025 10:04 am Xfce put out a Thunar point release, 4.20.1, last week,
I just uploaded it to the MX Test repo so you can see if that fixes things.
And if you haven't yet tried this, delete the ~/.config/Thunar folder and reboot. The reboot is because Thunar leaves a process going after you have closed it so the config files aren't reloaded until you reboot.

Re: MX 23.5/XFCE 4.20 Thunar crashing
I just did a fresh install of MX 23.5 AHS and had no problems and no updates available. But before installing, on the live image, I did an apt update and it pointed out that there were 3 thunar related updates. So I'm no noticing any problems with this install, but for some reason it didn't point out those 3 thunar related updates the live image said needed updating... I'm a beginner, so I'm clueless...
