## 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+ 3.22.0 or above
- GLib 2.42.0 or above
- exo 0.12.0 or above
- intltool 0.30 or above
Thunar can optionally use the following packages:
- D-Bus 0.34 or above (strongly suggested)
- xfce4-panel 4.14.0 or above (for the trash applet)
- xfconf-query
## Installation
The file [`INSTALL`](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`):
| Argument | Description |
| ------- | ----------- |
| `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. |

Thunar supports the following standards/specifications:
* [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec)
