thunar_file_monitor_get_default ()

ThunarFileMonitor *
thunar_file_monitor_get_default (void);

Returns a reference to the default ThunarFileMonitor instance. The ThunarFileMonitor default instance can be used to monitor the lifecycle of all currently existing ThunarFile instances. The ::file-changed and ::file-destroyed signals will be emitted whenever any of the currently existing ThunarFiles is changed or destroyed.

The caller is responsible to free the returned instance using g_object_unref() when no longer needed.

thunar_file_monitor_file_changed ()

void
thunar_file_monitor_file_changed (ThunarFile *file);

Emits the ::file-changed signal on the default ThunarFileMonitor (if any). This method should only be used by ThunarFile.

thunar_file_monitor_file_destroyed ()

void
thunar_file_monitor_file_destroyed (ThunarFile *file);

thunar_file_monitor_thumbnail_updated ()

void
thunar_file_monitor_thumbnail_updated (ThunarFile *file);

The “file-changed” signal

void
user_function (ThunarFileMonitor *file_monitor,
               ThunarFile        *file,
               gpointer           user_data)

This signal is emitted on file_monitor whenever any of the currently existing ThunarFile instances changes. file identifies the instance that changed.

Flags: No Hooks

The “file-destroyed” signal

void
user_function (ThunarFileMonitor *file_monitor,
               ThunarFile        *file,
               gpointer           user_data)

This signal is emitted on file_monitor whenever any of the currently existing ThunarFile instances is about to be destroyed. file identifies the instance that is about to be destroyed.

Note that this signal is only emitted if file is explicitly destroyed, i.e. because Thunar noticed that it was removed from disk, it is not emitted when the last reference on file is released.

Flags: No Hooks

The “thumbnail-updated” signal

void
user_function (ThunarFileMonitor *file_monitor,
               gpointer           files,
               gpointer           user_data)

This signal is emitted on file_monitor whenever for any of the currently existing ThunarFile thumbnail status changes. files identifies the GList of all the concerning files.
