That page shows that there is a PPA for 14.04, as I said, we don't use PPA's for XFCE so I did actually answer your question, you just needed to look at the information more carefully. Hope that's clear enough for you :)

You said. Whatever XFCE is in the Ubuntu repos at the time will be included

So thats what i showed you here

https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12

And you really didn't tell me if it was going to be in the next release. But OK whatever  8)

What PPA is is under then?

If possible I would like to have a "Send to" right click menu item for the desktop that allows me to send items from the desktop to my home, documents, music, pictures, and other relevant folders.
Yep.
This is a quick hack of shaggytwodopes's control center code. Will copy just one file but the general idea is that Thunar calls a py script :)
Code: [Select]
# Thunar custom actions launcher for Send to operations
#  Milos Pavlovic 2016 <[email protected]>
#
#  Save this file to /usr/local/bin/menu.py
#  Setting thunar custom action:
#  Name: Send to
#  Description : Copy file to...
#  Command: python3 /usr/local/bin/menu.py "%F"

            menuitem = Gtk.MenuItem()
            menuitem.add(box)
            menuitem.connect("button-press-event", self.action, x)
            self.menu.append(menuitem)
            j +=1
        height = j*30
        self.menu.set_size_request(150, height) # Workaround for height
        self.menu.popup(None, None, None, None, 0, Gtk.get_current_event_time())
        self.menu.show_all()
    def main(self):
        # Cliche init
        Gtk.main()

if __name__ == "__main__":

     app = Menu()
     app.main()

Just throwing in some ideas for now.
Would need to be reworked to use shutil to copy files and folders. And passing file and folder names from Thunar like this is not a very good idea. I guess writing to temp file would be preferable so file and folder names are read line by line in a script. Then Thunar custom action would be something like: "for file in %F; do echo $file >> tmp.txt; done; python3 /souce/ destination tmp.txt;rm -r tmp.txt".
There is also a case when filename exists. In that case script could offer to overwrite / change destination filename / skip coping that file or folder. To display error when it cant copy and finally a progress bar. :)

The development team didn't want it.  And if you look at the link to the thread provided, it gives some insight as to why.

A big +1!!!
The only distro who provides such an option is Linux Mint through their Update Manager. It works excellent and you can select the best kernel suited for your system. Every distro should have a similar tool like that instead of "fooling and joking" around to get the latest kernel installed.

This must be what I was also recommending on February 08, 2016, 12:30:48 PM but did not remember what distro it was in.   :)

I would like to see a section added to Lite Tweaks that allows the user to pick a kernel that works best with their hardware, if it is possible I would like to see older kernels like 3.13 added to that section also. I think this would help prevent people with older machines from having to look for an alternative or having to stick to an older version of Linux Lite.  I think that this all depends on the choices made in the version of Ubuntu that 3.0 will be based on, but would really like to see it.  :)

What about if the Ubuntu software center is installed by default
Maybe good idea for some users, but i use Synaptic which provides me a more powerful tool to install/remove programs. The Ubuntu software center doesn't show you everything what's going on when you install a program. I had a past experience whit Software center installing a program while in the background not clearly made visible removing another program together with system dependent packages screwing up my installation. Synaptic shows you much better what will be installed, removed and/or replaced. I find this much better info.
