What is it?
===========

Thunar is a modern file manager for the Unix/Linux desktop, aiming to be easy-to-use and fast.

Required packages
=================

Thunar depends on the following packages:

 - perl 5.6 or above
 - GTK+ 3.20.0 or above
 - GLib 2.30.0 or above
 - exo 0.10.0 or above
 - intltool 0.30 or above

Thunar can optionally use the following packages:

 - D-Bus 0.34 or above (strongly suggested)
 - libstartup-notification 0.4 or above
 - xfce4-panel 4.10.0 or above (for the trash applet)
 - xfconf-query

Installation
============

The file 'INSTALL' contains generic installation instructions. For more general information, check the [thunar documentation](https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start).

Debugging Support
=================

Thunar currently supports four different levels of debugging support, which can be setup using the configure flag `--enable-debug` (check the output of `configure --help`):

**full:**

Use this if you want to debug Thunar to locate a bug. The build will most probably be noticably slower. This is also recommended for people that want to develop Thunar stuff.

**yes**

Adds all kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. Use this if you want to develop for Thunar (e.g. writing Thunar extensions and such).

**minimum**

This is the default for release builds, and presents the recommended behaviour.

**no**

Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know exactly what you do.

Standards compliance
====================

Thunar supports the following standards/specifications:

  * [XDG Base Directory Specification](http://https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec)
