Thunar
Thunar is a GTK file manager originally made for Xfce.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

Plugins
You can add plugins by including them in programs.thunar.plugins
to your configuration.nix
. For example:

thunar-volman
];
Other functionalities
You can extend Thunar's functionalities by adding to your configuration.nix
