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.
