Thunar
Thunar is a new
modern file manager for the Xfce
Desktop Environment.
The main goal of the Thunar project is to create a file
manager that is fast, clean, and easy to use. It is designed to start
up faster and be more responsive than other Linux file managers, such
as Nautilus
and Konqueror.
It can create folders and documents, display files and
folders,
manage files and folders, run and manage custom actions, as well as
accessing
removable media.
Thunar implements the various FreeDesktop.org standards to
integrate nicely into todays UNIX/Linux desktop world.
Using the Thunar Extensions Framework it is easy to
extend the basic functionality provided by Thunar to integrate even
complex tasks into the file manager.
