Thanks for the information. And thanks for the great piece of software too. I must say, I was never quite fond of file managers (theres some sort of magnetism that kicks me back to bash for file management every once in a while) but, since Thunar, I use bash only for programming-related file management, and I'm even considering start using Thunar for that too. :) Great work, and it keeps getting better everytime.
