From 7b3ac9d5dfe1fc9ef9cda1ee6f315bbb05b2739e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Donovan Glover Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2022 23:44:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] meta: Add thunar I used thunar for a while and it was a great experience with few exceptions, however I will likely remove it in favor of a more command line-based experience. Using thunar was a valuable learning exercise and it helped me understand more about what file browsers actually do, and I realized that I can replicate this experience fairly trivially while giving me the benefits of my existing configuration. --- thunar/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc | 2 ++ thunar/README.md | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+) create mode 100644 thunar/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc create mode 100644 thunar/README.md diff --git a/thunar/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc b/thunar/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7b125bd --- /dev/null +++ b/thunar/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +TerminalEmulator=kitty +TerminalEmulatorDismissed=true diff --git a/thunar/README.md b/thunar/README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..987a8bf --- /dev/null +++ b/thunar/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +# thunar + +[thunar][thunar] is a GTK file manager. + +## Use Cases + +thunar can be used to: + +- Have a graphical interface for browsing files on a computer +- Not worry about the cascading effect of nautilus +- Have thumbnails update instantly, no refresh needed most of the time + +You should not use thunar if: + +- You want to search in your file browser (nautilus is better for this) + +[thunar]: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar
