I frequently get a popup box saying File Operation Progress when using Thunar to copy files.

Another small box shows on the upper right side.

When I right click it, a box opens saying "File Operation Progress.'

What is that and how can I stop that?

enter image description here

I did a complete purge of Thunar and a re-install.

The popup box continues to stay open after the file copying has completed.

  • @ Archisman Panigrahi How do I do a complete purge of Thunar including all configuration files. I will then do a re-install of Thunar. – fixit7 Apr 16 '23 at 22:42
  • @fixit7, (1) check list of notification services available grep -r org.freedesktop.Notifications /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ (2) verify which one is active using d-feet tool and look which service takes org.freedesktop.Notifications D-Bus address. (3) Thunar is part of XFCE, I'm expecting either org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service (mate-notification-daemon) or org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service (xfce4-notifyd) (4) Thunar has only one config file in the package /etc/xdg/Thunar/uca.xml , rest of the config either through xfconf or in ~/.config/ folder... – user.dz Apr 21 '23 at 21:38
  • ... To reset user config delete ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml or use xfconf-query to reset "thunar" setting channel, here some posts as reference: https://askubuntu.com/q/446458/26246 , https://askubuntu.com/q/1060116/26246 , https://askubuntu.com/a/224037/26246 . – user.dz Apr 21 '23 at 21:40

The File Operation progress shows when there is a file being copied/transferred from one directory to another.

The second box that shows on the upper right is the Notification of the action ongoing. To disable the notification, either turn on DND mode, or under notification settings block that application from sending notifications.

  • Thanks. I could use some details on what you said. Have you actually tested what you suggested? Nishant Majumdar – fixit7 Apr 22 '23 at 07:24
