[Thunar-dev] Can thunar auto-close a window when the directory disappears?

Hi,
I often plug in, then un-plug, usb/SD etc storage devices.

When I plug them in, a new thunar window appears which is good and useful.
When I unplug them, the window doesn't disappear but rather changes to
display the parent (/media).
Doing this several times results in a growing collection of windows which
just get in my way. Obviously I can close them but that is just another
action required that disrupts my workflow.

Is it possible to tell thunar to close the window when the directory
disappears?

If a code change is required I'm happy to try making it myself (I've spent a
little while exploring the code, but haven't tried building it yet).
I've found 'thunar_list_model_folder_destroy' which I think is called when
the folder is deleted - can I add something there to destroy the window?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
