I am a little confused at the status of the file manager Thunar in Xubuntu 16.04. This release has a description of "Long Term Support", but as far as I can tell, the file manager has been crashing when renaming files for about a year now!?
For years I loved Dolphin after bad experiences. If you install it today you'll find out it is a disgrace under Xubuntu. Thunar: not a disgrace, but yes, I recognize that behaviour, it drove me mad, well, not that bad. It was the reason to toss Thunar out half a year ago, after waiting for that magic bug fix that did not come and tired of $_mv. Right now I am using pcmanfm. Is it fantastic? No, if you perform many drag-drop actions with large files simultaneously, it will crash too. But at least I can rename my files again and under normal circumstances it is quite stable.
Seriously, give pcmanfm a try. And best of this one: There is dual pane support (F3) which is a time saver.
All full feature file browsers have their weak spots and changing them from time to time seems to be unavoidable.
