Thanks, Set Now I can do all with Thunar I did with Nautilus, maybe easier. (My world is now a happier place.) And no, Nautilus did not actually lose data. It would just break in the middle of a long task, and then I would have to pay attention to which files it failed to copy. There would usually be one where the name showed, but no content. No corrupted files, as far as I can tell. I haven't yet tried Thunar on a similar large task (like copying a 30 gig folder of my manipulated photographs). It may still prove to be my wheezy hardware and not Nautilus that caused the trouble. But now that you have shown me where the controls are, Thunar works just fine for me.
