If not, could you provide some details? How does it differ from an "ordinary" savefolder? How do you set up the symbolic links? To what? What are its potential advantages?

Thanks for them, i too compile xfce using lfs, however my thunar results in double entries for drives when mounted and even loop entries on the side, how is it done to avoid these issues plus how to get rid of the orange/ red warning that am running as root.

Kindly share your Thunar as well and xfce4 plugins.
