Thunar release versions

[alloydog]

I have been looking how to have each directory to have its own view settings (as in Windows Explorer).

One thread in Reddit says: "This feature is available in 4.16"
(source: https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/l...c_folders/)

So, I found that version and downloaded it.  But, before I installed it, I checked the version currently running.  It tells me it is 1.8.14.

I then decided to look for a release map and found this:
https://repology.org/project/thunar/versions

Is the version in Linux Lite (and other distros) really 3 releases behind the current, or is some other numbering scheme running to reflect something else?

Just looking for some clarity here.

We're based off Ubuntu LTS. Better security, stability, more bug fixing.

That won't install due to missing dependencies. Have you checked here? https://mxlinux.org/wiki/xfce/xfce-comma.../#snippets There might be something you can use. I'd experiment in a VM first.
