User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5 Build Identifier: Thunar applies some restrictions on the min/max width of the side panel. It would be very user-friendly if user can set the width of the side panel as narrow/wide as he/she wants. There should be no restrictions in how user interacts with GUI. Besides I see no logical reasons in the currently applied restrictions. Reproducible: Always
I think this suggestion can be pretty useful, since it will make a lot easier(intuitive) and faster to hide or show the side panel. I guess they made a minimum size restriction for the panel in order to keep things tidy, but it should also be possible to hide and show the panel with the mouse. I'm sure beginners will find this way a lot simpler. It doesn't seem so hard to implement, and it's the default behavior in konqueror and nautilus. Thanks for all the hard work on Xfce, keep it up!
