No probs, will create a new one.

roger.

This is meant as the name of the mac file manager -

okay.

Yes i do agree some keys can be removed.
Search for 'date' now and it will show results with 'update', which i wouldn't
expect, but its a basic search. The display of the date in a file manager is
something important and being able to configure it is an important feature of a
file manager's settings app, so if a user search for 'configure date' or 'date
format', settings showing up is useful.

Repeating so many entries that are already in thunar's keywords here isn't
beneficial to search. Here is my counter.

thunar;settings;preferences;configure;thumbnails;file size;date
format;shortcuts pane;tree view;tabs;

> Proposal for bulk renamer:

My suggestion

bulk;renamer;renaming;thunar;files;folders;directory;directories;
