16 Thunar is a fast and easy to use file manager for the Xfce Desktop
17 Environment. It has been designed from the ground up to be lighweight
18 with special focus on usability. Its user interface is clean and
19 intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options.
20
22 Thunar takes a list of URIs for folders that should be opened in new
23 file manager windows or files that should be run using the default
24 application for their types. The URIs may be specified as either file:
25 or trash: URIs, absolute paths or paths relative to the current
26 directory from which Thunar is being invoked. If no URIs are specified,
27 the current folder will be opened in a new file manager window.
28
29 When the --bulk-rename option is specified no file managers windows
30 will be opened, but instead the URIs will be passed to the bulk
31 renamer. The bulk renamer allows to rename several files or folders at
32 once using different renamer modules.

34 Options
35 -?, --help
36 Print brief help and exit.
37
38 -v, --version
39 Print version information and exit.
40
41 -B, --bulk-rename
42 Open the URIs in a standalone window of the bulk renamer.
43
44 --daemon
45 Do not terminate the Thunar instance when the last window is closed,
46 but keep it running to speed up opening new windows later on. This
47 is the default when spawning Thunar as part of the default Xfce
48 session or when using D-Bus activation.
49
50 --display=DISPLAY
51 Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface.
52
53 -q, --quit
54 Terminate any Thunar instance running in the background (spawned
55 using the --daemon option). This command should be used whenever
56 Thunar is upgraded to a new version to ensure that no old instance
57 is reused.
