jjaythomas,
Thanks for the reply.
If Debian (LMDE) need to compile (I couldn't find a Deb of the package alone)
Yes, that was the same decision I came up with. But, not being a Developer, or Software GURU, I started with the README file.
That file referenced the INSTALL file, and it's not included. I'm wondering WHY? So, I looked for the .configure file, and it doesn't
exist either. There is a ./autogen.sh file, and I tried running that. It found some dependencies that I didn't have. But, there must be lots
more, because it errors out with the following:
~/Downloads/Thunar_140/thunar-1.4.0 $ ./autogen.sh --prefix="/usr/local"

from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

So, I'm back to the original question............................
But, on second thought forget the compile help request. I've decided to go to:
SETTINGS -> PREFERED APPLICATIONS -> UTILITY TAB and set Nautilus as my File Manager.
I'll use Nautilus until LMDE - Thunar is updated to 1.4.0 or a later version, which will fix the
problems I have with it.
Thanks.
Larry
