Thunar is a GTK file manager originally made for Xfce.
Installation
Thunar will automatically be installed by enabling Xfce.
If you want to install Thunar standalone, add to your configuration.nix:
programs.thunar.enable = true;
Configuration
If xfce is not used as desktop and therefore xfconf is not enabled, preference changes are discarded.
In that case enable the xfconf program manually to be able to save preferences:
programs.xfconf.enable = true;
Plugins
You can add plugins by including them in programs.thunar.plugins to your configuration.nix. For example:
programs.thunar.plugins = with pkgs.xfce; [
thunar-archive-plugin
thunar-volman
];
Other functionalities
You can extend Thunar's functionalities by adding to your configuration.nix:
services.gvfs.enable = true; # Mount, trash, and other functionalities
services.tumbler.enable = true; # Thumbnail support for images
You can extend Tumbler's support to other file formats by adding more packages to environment.systemPackages. See here for a list (the names may not match 1:1).
