NAME

       Thunar - File Manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS

       Thunar [options] [[URI]...]

       Thunar [options] --bulk-rename [[URI]...]

       Thunar [options] --quit

DESCRIPTION

       Thunar is a fast and easy to use file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It has been designed from
       the ground up to be lighweight with special focus on usability. Its user interface is clean and
       intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options.

INVOCATION

       Thunar takes a list of URIs for folders that should be opened in new file manager windows or files that
       should be selected in new file manager windows. The URIs may be specified as either file: or trash: URIs,
       absolute paths or paths relative to the current directory from which Thunar is being invoked. If no URIs
       are specified, the current folder will be opened in a new file manager window.

       When the --bulk-rename option is specified no file managers windows will be opened, but instead the URIs
       will be passed to the bulk renamer. The bulk renamer allows one to rename several files or folders at
       once using different renamer modules.

   Options
       -?, --help
           Print brief help and exit.

       -V, --version
           Print version information and exit.

       -B, --bulk-rename
           Open the URIs in a standalone window of the bulk renamer.

       --daemon
           Do not terminate the Thunar instance when the last window is closed, but keep it running to speed up
           opening new windows later on. This is the default when spawning Thunar as part of the default Xfce
           session or when using D-Bus activation.

       --display=DISPLAY
           Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface.

       -q, --quit
           Terminate any Thunar instance running in the background (spawned using the --daemon option). This
           command should be used whenever Thunar is upgraded to a new version to ensure that no old instance is
           reused.
