I'm curious, since I have the same problems in combination inkscape/thunar and thought it was a pure thunar problem, but it obviously isn't.

I created a textfile a1.txt, while thunar is open, iconview activated and order by modification time descending, so that the most recent file is on top.

"Save as..." a2.txt shows immediately a new file a2.txt, the marked a1.txt moves to the right, iconview and the filename in the thunar window is in sync with the filename, according to the statusbar.

But I often produce a SVG file a.svg, export a PNG a.png, and now the newest one is a.png. But the exportname gets stored in the SVG, so the SVG is marked as unsaved changed in Inkscape with an asterix, so shortly thereafter I will save the SVG again, so it changes Position with the PNG in Thunar, but it doesn't - maybe influenced by the fact, that both previews render the same output.

So the big window shows the files in wrong order or better said with wrong names and previews. Because the cursor, the marking of the file stays on the svg-file, changing position between 1 and 2 depending on the age and the statusbar seems always in sync with the real file upon which is acted, for instance, if I delete it or open it or something else in Thunar.

Is it suitable to append an ogv-Video of nearly 10 Mb? I try it, remove it, if unwanted.
