前瞻Xfce 4.18 主要新功能
======
> 有关 Xfce 4.18 的核心和原生应用程序的功能的全面介绍。
经过近两年的开发Xfce 4.18 将在 2022 年圣诞节期间发布。作为 [Xfce 4.16][1] 以来的重要的版本,其一直在开发标签 4.17 下进行开发,以增强这个轻量级桌面。
考虑到 GTK4 的更新、初步的 Wayland 支持以及核心和本地应用程序的改进Xfce 4.18 是一个重要的里程碑版本,其带来了大量更新。
从发布时间来看,第一个 Xfce 4.18 预发布版pre1已经发布。2022 年 12 月的第一周会有另一个预发布版。而 Xfce 4.18 的最终版本预计将在 2022 年 12 月 15 日至 12 月 29 日之间发布。
由于目前还没有官方的详细介绍,我在这篇文章中总结了 Xfce 4.18 的基本和主要功能。
请继续阅读。
![Xfce 4.18 pre1 (compiled in Arch)][2]
### Xfce 4.18 的新功能
#### 1、核心库更新
Xfce 4.18 的依赖关系有所改变,并使用以下版本进行编译:
- glib-2.0 >= 2.66
- gtk >= 3.24
- libcairo >= 1.16
- gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.40
- gobject-introspection >= 1.66
#### 2、桌面和面板
顶部的主面板带来了新的设置和调整。但整体外观仍与以前的 4.16 版本中的一样。一些默认的面板小程序在这个版本中也有变化。桌面图标、右键上下文菜单和项目保持不变。
面板的首选项设置有两个新的选项。首先,面板的长度现在以**像素**设置,而不是百分比。其次,一个新的选项,“<ruby>保持面板在窗口上方<rt>Keep panel above windows</rt></ruby>” ,可以让你将窗口对话放到面板后面。之前,应用程序的窗口只能达到面板的边缘。
![Xfce 4.18 中的面板首选项][3]
彻底修改了时钟小程序的设置。是的,你终于可以改变 Xfce 时钟小程序的字体风格。与此同时,它提供了四种时钟布局:
- 只有日期
- 只有时间
- 日期和时间
- 时间和日期
此外,你还可以向日历中添加命令。
![终于你可以改变 Xfce 时钟小程序的字体了][4]
#### 3、Thunar 文件管理器
也许这个版本中最令人兴奋的变化是 Thunar 文件管理器的功能。首先,一个新的“搜索”图标取代了工具栏上的“重新加载”按钮。当点击时,它会在地址栏上出现搜索,可以使用你的搜索关键词进行递归搜索。重新加载按钮被放到了 “<ruby>查看<rt>View</rt></ruby>” 菜单中。
其次,在左边的导航栏上增加了一个的新项目,“<ruby>最近<rt>Recent</rt></ruby>”。在底部,元数据更有条理(从逗号分隔改为竖线分隔),还有一个新的上下文菜单项可以选择你想要显示的元数据。
![Thunar 4.18 的视觉变化][5]
Thunar 的主菜单有很多变化。下面列出了主要的变化。在下面的图片中还标注了自 4.16 以来的变化。
- 引入了一个**新的书签菜单**,可以将当前文件夹作为快捷方式添加到侧边栏。
- “<ruby>编辑<rt>Edit</rt></ruby>”菜单有了 “<ruby>撤销<rt>undo</rt></ruby>” 和 “<ruby>重做<rt>redo</rt></ruby>” 选项。
- “<ruby>前往<rt>Go</rt></ruby>” 菜单有了 “<ruby>最近<rt>Recent</rt></ruby>” 和 “<ruby>搜索<rt>Search</rt></ruby>” 的选项。
Thunar 首次通过 “<ruby>视图<rt>View</rt></ruby>”菜单项有了“<ruby>分割视图<rt>Split view</rt></ruby>”! 是的,你现在可以在视图面板中拖放项目。
前不久,我 [报道][6] 说图像预览即将在 Thunar 中出现。而它终于来了。作为谷歌代码之夏 2022 的部分开发成果,你现在可以嵌入在侧边栏中看到图片预览。或者在右边的一个独立的新面板上查看。它可以通过偏好设置来改变。
下面是它的外观。
![带有独立图像预览的 Thunar 分割视图][7]
![嵌入图像预览的 Thunar 分割视图][8]
#### 4、Thunar 的首选项
Thunar 设置中出现了大量调整。首先,一个新的选项卡可以为 Thunar 定制你的键盘快捷键。你可以直接指定新的快捷键组合,并从这个选项卡中改变现有的快捷键组合。
![Thunar 的新快捷键标签][9]
<ruby>显示<rt>Display</rt></ruby>” 设置中新增了一个缩略图部分,你现在可以指定缩略图的文件大小。缩略图的具体设置也被归为一组。
![4.18 版的 Thunar 显示设置][10]
<ruby>侧面板<rt>Side Pane</rt></ruby>” 选项卡有了一个新的图像预览选项,你在上面看到过。你可以设置为嵌入式或独立式预览。此外,“<ruby>行为<rt> Behaviour</rt></ruby>” 选项卡增加了 “<ruby>启动时恢复选项卡<rt>restore tabs on startup</rt></ruby>” 和在选项卡标题中显示 “<ruby>完整的目录路径<rt>full directory path</rt></ruby>” 的选项,这将有很大帮助。
<ruby>高级<rt>Advanced</rt></ruby>” 选项卡为 “<ruby>文件传输<rt>File Transfer</rt></ruby>” 提供了一个新的设置部分,有两个新的选项:“<ruby>中间文件复制<rt>Intermediate file copy</rt></ruby>”和“<ruby>验证校验和<rt>Verify checksum</rt></ruby>”。此外,在这个选项卡中还增加了一个新的递归搜索的选项。你还可以通过以下选项将 Thunar 设置为直接 “<ruby>执行 Shell 脚本<rt>Execute Shell script</rt></ruby>”。
![Thunar 4.18 的高级选项][11]
除了上述变化外,文件夹属性对话框现在可以显示文件和文件夹的数量。另外,一个新的高亮选项使你能够为你的文件夹图标背景和前景选择任何自定义颜色。如果你有一个复杂的文件夹结构,这将使你能够快速导航。
下面是它的外观。
![文件夹高亮演示][12]
#### 设置
<ruby>外观<rt>Appearances</rt></ruby>” 设置现在允许你打开和关闭对话框的标题栏。
<ruby>桌面<rt>Desktop</rt></ruby>” 设置允许文件上下文菜单中的删除选项(打开或关闭)。
<ruby>显示<rt>Display</rt></ruby>” 设置现在允许你为多种显示情况设置默认值:镜像、扩展显示还是什么都不做。早些时候,这些选项在显示器被连接时才可用。
#### Wayland 和其他更新
除了上述 Xfce 4.18 的功能外,窗口管理器和桌面还有许多额外的错误修复和性能改进。这些都是在底层的,你应该能感受到一个更精良的 Xfce 桌面体验。
Xfce 桌面核心和原生应用程序的 Wayland 迁移工作开始了。离它完全准备好还有很长的路要走。在这个版本中,你可能不会看到很多 Wayland 的更新。然而,许多应用程序在 Wayland 下已经可以正常工作了。你可以在 [本页][13] 了解更多关于迁移状态的信息。
### 下载及什么时候出现在发行版
Xfce 4.18 应该会在 2023 年 4 月进入 Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster并在 Fedora 38 中出现。基于滚动发布的发行版,如 Arch Linux、Manjaro 和 OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 应该会在 2022 年 12 月发布后的几天内得到它。轻量级的流行发行版 [MX Linux][14] 应该在 2023 年采用这个版本,这个时候也是 Debian Bookworm 更新的时候。
Xfce 4.18 的第一个预发布版本 [现已发布][15]。你可以从下面的页面下载源码压缩包,并编译它们。请参考官方的 [编译指南][16]。
> **[下载 Xfce 4.18 源代码pre1][17]**
### 总结
总的来说变化的数量巨大。许多核心变化和需要的变化都进入了这个版本。Thunar 文件管理器的更新是早该进行的,对于 Xfce 的爱好者来说应该是完美的。
随着 Wayland 的支持,未来的 Xfce 版本可能会带来一个可行的 Xfce 版本。Wayland 的支持仍在进行中,每个组件都有许多决定有待作出。许多发行版和关键部署仍然喜欢 Xfce 而不是 KDE Plasma 或 GNOME。考虑到这些用例和未来的路线图Xfce 4.18 是下一个版本之前的一个重要的里程碑。
列表中你最喜欢的功能是什么?请在评论栏里告诉我。

Xfce 4.18: Top New Features & Release Guide
======
**A comprehensive guide of Xfce 4.18 features across core & native apps.**
After almost two years of development, Xfce 4.18 will be released during Christmas 2022. Coming as a major release since [Xfce 4.16][1], the development was going on to enhance this lightweight desktop under the development tag 4.17.
Xfce 4.18 is a significant milestone considering GTK4 updates, initial Wayland support and revamp of core native apps. The volume of updates is massive.
Release-wise, the first Xfce 4.18 pre-release (pre1) is now out. There shall be another pre-release in the first week of December 2022. And the Xfce 4.18 final release is expected between December 15 and December 29, 2022.
Since there is no official detailed write-up yet, I have summarised this article with essential and major Xfce 4.18 features.
Read on.
![Xfce 4.18 pre1 (compiled in Arch)][2]
### Xfce 4.18: New Features
#### 1. Core library updates
The dependencies of Xfce 4.18 is changed and compiled using the following versions.
- glib-2.0 >= 2.66
- gtk >= 3.24
- libcairo >= 1.16
- gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.40
- gobject-introspection >= 1.66
#### 2. Desktop and Panel
The primary top panel brings new settings and tweaks. But the overall look remains the same as before in the 4.16 version. Some default Panel applets are also changing in this version. The desktop icons, right-click context menu, and items remain unchanged.
Panel preference gets two new options. Firstly, the length of the Panel is **now in pixels** rather than in percentages. Secondly, a new option, **“Keep panel above windows”**, helps you to send back window dialogues behind the panel. Earlier the app windows could only reach up to the panel edge.
![Panel preferences in Xfce 4.18][3]
The clock applet settings are overhauled. Yes, finally, you can change the font style in the Xfce clock applet. Along with that, four clock layout arrives
- date only
- time only
- date and time
- time and date
In addition, you can also add commands to Calendar.
![Finally you can change the font of Xfce Clock applet][4]
#### 3. Thunar File manager
Perhaps, the most exciting change in this release is the features in the Thunar file manager. Firstly, a new **search icon replaces the reload button in the toolbar**. When clicked, it brings up the search at the address bar, it does a recursive search with your search keyword. The reload button goes to the View menu.
Secondly, a **new item, “Recent”,** is added on the left navigation bar. At the bottom, the metadata is more organized (from comma separated to pipe separated), and a new context menu item to select your desired option.
![Thunar 4.18 visual changes][5]
The main menu of Thunar gets many changes. Here is a list of significant ones. Also marked in the following images is what has changed since 4.16.
- A **new bookmark menu** is introduced, adding the current folder to the sidebar as a shortcut.
- The Edit menu gets **UNDO and REDO** options.
- Go menu gets Recent and search for the file option.
Thunar gets the **Split view** via the View menu item for the first time! Yes, you can now drag & drop items in the view panels.
A while back, I [reported][6] that the image preview was arriving in Thunar. And its finally here. Developed part of Google Summer of Code 2022, you can now see the image preview in the sidebar embedded. Or at a new panel at the right as a standalone mode. It can be changed via preferences.
Heres how it looks.

#### 4. Thunar Preferences
A significant number of tweaks arrive in Thunar settings. Firstly, a new tab with the option to customize your keyboard shortcuts for Thunar. You can directly assign new keyboard combinations and change the existing ones from this tab.
![New shortcut tab in Thunar][9]
The display settings get a new section for Thumbnails where you can now specify the file size for Thumbnails. And the Thumbnail specific settings are grouped together.
![Thunar Display Settings in 4.18][10]
The Side Pane tab gets a new option for image preview, which you saw above. You can change the settings to embedded or standalone preview. Furthermore, the Behaviour tab gets the option to **restore tabs on startup** and show the **full directory path** in tab titles, which will help insanely.
The Advanced tab gets a new settings section for File transfer with two new options to **intermediate file copy & verify the**checksum. In addition, a new option for recursive search is also added in this tab. You can also set Thunar to **execute** the **Shell script directly** via the following option.
![Advanced options of Thunar 4.18][11]
In addition to the above changes, the folder properties dialogue now show you the **count of file and folders**. Also, a new highlight option enables you to choose any **custom colour** for your folder icon background and foreground. This will allow you to navigate if you have a complex folder structure quickly.
Heres how it looks.
![Folder highlight demo][12]
#### Settings
- Appearances settings now allow you to turn on and off the header bar in dialogs.
- Desktop settings allow the Delete option in the file context menu (on or off)
- Display settings now allow you to set a default for multiple display situations whether to mirror, extend the display or do nothing. Earlier, the options were available when displays were connected.
#### Wayland and other updates
In addition to the above Xfce 4.18 features, many additional bug fixes and performance improvements have arrived for the window manager and desktop. Those are all under the hood, and you should feel a more polished Xfce desktop experience.
Wayland migration work for Xfce desktop core and native apps started. Its a long way until it is fully ready. In this release, you may not get much of Wayland updates. However, many apps already work fine under Wayland. You can learn more about the migration status on [this page][13].
### Download & Distro Availability
Xfce 4.18 should make it to Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster on April 2023 and in Fedora 38. Rolling release-based distros such as Arch Linux, Manjaro and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed should get it within a few days of its release on December 2022. Lightweight and popular distro [MX Linux][14] should feature this version in 2023 while refreshing itself for Debian Bookworm.
The first pre-release of Xfce 4.18 is [now out][15]. You can download the source tar balls from the below page and compile them. Refer to the official [compilation guide][16].
[Download Xfce 4.18 source (pre1)][17]
### Closing Notes
Overall, the number of changes is massive. Many core changes and needed ones made it to this release. The Thunar file manager updates were long-due and should be perfect for Xfce lovers.
With Waylands support, the future Xfce release might bring a workable version of Xfce. The Wayland support is still in progress, and many decisions are pending for each component. Many distributions and critical deployments still prefer Xfce over KDE Plasma or GNOME. Considering those use cases and future roadmap, Xfce 4.18 is a major stepping stone before the next release.
