Thunar

Thunar application 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.

Thunar is fast and responsive with a good start up time and directory load time. Thunar is accessible using Assistive Technologies and is fully standards compliant.

What is new in this release:

• Bugfixes and improvements:
• Fix crash when entering the same hidden directory twice in the location entry (Bug #4847).

• Do not use msgctxt as it is not supported and breaks in older gettext.
• Optional nano version added to configure.in.in.
• Fix crash in the tree side pane when hidden files are toggled (Bug #2502).
