Description basilicum 2017-06-01 06:15:39 UTC
Description of problem:


Passwd contains the fields:

    Username: It is used when user logs in. It should be between 1 and 32 characters in length.
    User ID Info: The comment field. It allow you to add extra information about the users such as user’s full name, phone number etc. This field use by finger command.


It appears that Thunar shows in the column owner the "User ID Info" followed by the Username in paranthesis. This can be very usefull for a lot of scenario's. 

However, I would greatly prefer that Thumar just shows the Username. The reason is that all command line utilities, like ls, show the Username by default. I'm quite sure that a lot of linux users will appreciate this conformity.

Therefor, I suggest to make a configuration option by which the linux standard can be enforced, i.e. showing passwd Username. 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always, just configure column to show owner.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2017-06-01 21:08:23 UTC
Seems reasonable to me. Would you be willing to file this upstream at https://bugzilla.xfce.org ? or would you like me to do so?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:01:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:45:27 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
