Hello again. I user here suggested I use JammyPup32 for a project I am working on and I am thankful for that because I am liking it a lot so far. However, while the Rox file manager is fine I also wanted to include Thunar file manager because it has a bunch of extra features I want.
However, an issue with Thunar I have found on a couple different Puppys I've tried (including Jammy) is that Thunar can't actually see any other file system other than the one that makes up the host Puppy OS file system stored in RAM. The host systems drive doesn't show up in the side panel like hwo one would normally see it. And if I plug in any other drives to the host machine those also don't show up in Thunar. They do course show up as an icon on the desktop which you can open in Rox, but even after opening them in Rox they cannot be seen of accessed by Thunar.
I thought that maybe Thunar has some separate piece to it that would be required to actually browse files on drives and not just the Puppy OS file system in RAM so I looked in the PPM again and I did actually find a Thunar related package with a description that said something like "This is the package needed to allow Thunar to control volumes" so I installed that and then tried plugging in different drives. It still didn't work. And it still can't see the hosts system drive.
Welp, I did give it a try. Do any of you know what Thunar needs to be able to actually view files on drives? I can't figure out what I am missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.
