About Thunar

Introduction to Thunar

Thunar is a new modern file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. Thunar 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 by default. Thunar is fast and responsive with a good start up time and folder load time.

The Thunar file manager thereby provides an integrated access point to your files and applications. You can use the file manager to do the following:

  • Create folders and documents.

  • Display your files and folders.

  • Manage your files and folders.

  • Run and manage custom actions.

  • Access Removable Media.
