+# thunar-volman
+
+
+Thunar-volman is an extension for the Thunar File Manager, which enables
+automatic management of removable drives and media. For example, if
+thunar-volman is installed and configured properly, and you plug in your
+digitcal camera, it will automatically spawn your preferred photo application
+and import the new pictures from your camera.
+
+It was designed to look and behave similar to gnome-volume-manager to get
+consistent removable drive and media management in Xfce and GNOME. This is
+to help GNOME refugees and people using both Xfce and GNOME (i.e. having to
+use GNOME at the office).
