Thunar 1.6 is out with tabs support.
When shall we get it?

When slackware gets it.

I was impatient for waiting the official release
and did build Thunar myself.

It requires exo library to be updated to 10 from xfce.

Then the Thunar 1.63 should be built. Download source

There was a problem!! Thunar did not work after reboot.

I had to re-install 1.4 again with Gslapt.
But when I started Thunar, the version 1.63 was working!!!
not 1.4.
Gslapt shows Thunar 1.4 installed. but 1.63 runs with all features.

Maybe, I should have uninstalled 1.4 before "make install" 1.63

RIght now I am sitting in Gentoo updated to yesterday.
Thunar 1.6.3
And looking a View as well as Preferences and I don't see any method or selection for Tabs..

EDIT: What an Idiot I am ...
Tabs are simply a selection Menu File> New Tab
And not a configuration option.
So Tabs work fine in 1.6.3 and saves opening up multiple Thunars ..
I also have 1.6 in Debian Sid ... I will have to check out Wheezy.

Hello sqlpython

u can also right click a folder and select
"open in new tab"

Also u can drag files between tabs.

^ Nice feature.. I am sure to become addicted to these Tabs.
