Thunar seems to have problems in escaping und unescaping filenames: I have set: View->Location Selection->Toolbar Style "cd /tmp; mkdir %C6; thunar %C6" in xterm => Thunar shows only "/tmp/" in the location bar "cd %C6; mkdir test" and "test" appears as an icon in the Thunar window. Therefore Thunar shows "/tmp/%C6" and not "/tmp/" Resetting "View->Location Selection->Pathbar Style" shows [tmp][%C6] which is right. if you "mkdir %; thunar %" there is only a stop sign in the toolbar if you select toolbar style. Calling thunar by using the uri "file:///tmp/%25" doesn't help either. I'm using 4.10 compiled by me on Ubuntu 10.04.
