  ===== How can I add new emblems? ====
  
  It's on the move, see [[http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1830|bug 1830]].
+ 
+ 
+ ===== When will it support samba/network browsing? ====
+ 
+ It already does! Just mount your shares and go to them with Thunar! Just kidding.
+ 
+ You are obviously asking about Thunar being able to discover remote machines on a network and mount/unmount shares from them. What you are asking for is nice, but there is no common framework for it yet that Thunar can build on.
+ 
+ Thunar is designed to be a file manager, not a network file system manager. Once such a beast exists, Thunar and all other applications will be able to use it, and you can browse your samba or NFS shares in firefox or emacs, whatever.
+ 
+ Short answer: not any time soon unless you write it yourself.
