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.

Best regards,
Alexandre Moreira.
