Thunar is a GTK file manager originally made for Xfce.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 # Requires an Archive manager like file-roller, ark, etc
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
🟆︎
Tip: You must logout and login again, after enabling gvfs, for the plugin to be active in Thunar
You can extend Thunar'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).
