I can be convinced to make such changes on the release branch only if
all they do is make a function whose return value was not interesting
to return a useful value. But the patch does more than that: it
introduces pcase-dolist and replaces some FOO with (car FOO) in at
least 3 occasions. Such changes make me uncomfortable, especially
given that this is a case where Emacs needs to jump through hoops to
work around misfeatures of some 3rd-party utility.
Can you rewrite the patch so that it will be clear at a glance that it
cannot possibly cause any harm because it just causes the same code
return a value? If you can, we have a chance of installing this on
the emacs-30 branch.
And, btw, I wonder whether enough people use pcmanfm for us to bother
about this issue.
Thanks.
