http://ubuntuguide.net – Thunar is a new modern file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It has been designed from the ground up to be fast and easy-to-use. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options. Thunar is fast and responsive with a good start up time and directory load time. Beside the basic file management features, Thunar includes additional features that set it ahead of other file managers available for the Unix/Linux desktop today. For example, Thunar includes a so called Bulk Renamer that allows users to easily rename multiple files at once using (HowTos)

Hello everybody.I don't use Crunchbang at this moment, but I installed Arch Linux next to it, trying to make some sort of Andreas/#! mix that I like better which is lighter. Don't get me wrong, Crunchbang is fast, but Debian is not thaaat fast, while Arch Linux is. So, I want to keep it that way: light.

Ok, I think I have a fix. Deleting my Thunar config files helped. But here's the tricky part:You know the "~/.config/Thunar" directory? That apparently is not the Thunar config file location. Instead, I removed "~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar*". After restarting Thunar, my Trash can worked correctly.

This is a bit of a necro-bump, but interesting to see how ideas change over time...dubois wrote:Here's an answer  http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5904  re tabbed browsing in Thunar.  From the link above (April 2011), a Thunar developer replied as follows regarding tabs in Thunar:No, we (all devs) are against it....Bad usability and there are already similar file managers

I found myself always holding Shift when I delete a file with Thunar (the XFCE file manager).

When I was using Windows I was always disabling "recycle bin" immediately after installation. I've looked for similar option in Thunar settings but had no luck finding it.

Do you happen to know a way?

HiI am running the testing version of crunch and I think I found a small bug.  I frequently import pictures and they come in as *.JPG and I normally use thunar's bulk rename with the extension option to rename to *.jpg.  With this testing version, thunar just crashes.The version of Thunar is 1.2.3.Overall, I love this version of crunch!!
