The Thunar Configuration File (thunarrc)
========================================
Thunar stores most of its preferences in the thunarrc file, which is located
in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Thunar/thunarrc. Many, but not all, of the settings are
configurable from the preferences dialog, which is available from the Edit
menu of every Thunar window.
The following list gives a brief overview of the preferences known to Thunar:
* DefaultView (ThunarDetailsView/ThunarIconView/void)
The name of the widget class, which should be used for the view pane
in new Thunar windows, or "void" to use the last selected view from
LastView preference.
* LastCompactViewZoomLevel (THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_SMALLEST/
THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_SMALLER/
THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_SMALL/
THUNAR_ZOOM_LEVEL_NORMAL/

* LastDetailsViewColumnWidths
A comma separated list of column widths, used if the details view
is in fixed column mode. The exact format of this list should be
considered an implementation detail and may change in future
versions of Thunar.
* LastDetailsViewFixedColumns (FALSE/TRUE)
Whether to use fixed column widths in the detailed list view.

side pane from the main view.
* LastShowHidden (FALSE/TRUE)
Determines whether hidden files should be shown by default in newly
opened Thunar windows.
* LastSidePane (ThunarShortcutsPane/void)

The last known width of a Thunar window, which will be used as
default width for newly created windows.
* MiscVolumeManagement (FALSE/TRUE)
This option requires both HAL and the thunar-volman package
to be installed. If enabled and Thunar runs as daemon (see the
--daemon command line option), Thunar will watch for new devices
being added and perform appropriate volume management, which
means that if you plug in a new device, that is handled by the
volume manager, it will try to automatically spawn the appropriate
application or mount the device if it contains a mountable
volume (i.e. an USB stick).
* MiscCaseSensitive (FALSE/TRUE)
Determines whether the sorting should be done in a case-sensitive
manner. The default is FALSE.

(i.e. the modification date of a file in the detailed list view).
* MiscFoldersFirst (FALSE/TRUE)

* MiscHorizontalWheelNavigates (FALSE/TRUE)
Controls whether the horizontal mouse wheel is used to navigate back
and forth within a Thunar view, or whether it should be used for
horizontal scrolling.

THUNAR_RECURSIVE_PERMISSIONS_ALWAYS/
THUNAR_RECURSIVE_PERMISSIONS_NEVER)
Determines whether to apply permissions recursively everytime the
permissions are altered by the user.
* MiscRememberGeometry (FALSE/TRUE)
Whether Thunar should remember the size of windows and apply
that size to new windows. If TRUE the width and height are
saved to LastWindowWidth and LastWindowHeight. If FALSE the
user may specify the start size in LastWindowWith and
LastWindowHeight. This option is enabled by default.

milliseconds after which the item under the mouse pointer will be
selected automatically. A value of 0 disables the automatic selec-
tion.

Controls whether the icon view should display the file names beside
the file icons instead of below the file icons.
